I have seen changes in RDI at about every 5 kgs (10 lbs) of weight loss. I'm sure you'll see the same.

Your metabolic rate is largely a function of your body mass, with lean mass having a greater effect than body fat. As you lose weight, you burn fewer calories at rest and during activity. If you hold your calories constant, you will eventually plateau as your daily calorie burn declines to match your calorie intake.

The importance of setting your Recommended Daily Intake RDI

I agree... If you stick with the default you will most likely not see the results you want. I adjust my calorie range for every 5-10 pounds lost. I need to redo mine today.
