New to prop firms, how do you handle drawdown limits?

Been trading my own capital for a while, mostly discretionary futures ($ES_F, $NQ_F). Thinking of trying out a prop firm challenge just to see if I can adhere to stricter rules, especially around drawdown. My issue is, on a bad day, my personal risk management allows for a bit more rope to make it back, but these firm limits are tight. For those of you who trade prop, how do you adjust your per-trade risk sizing or your daily grind to account for those hard drawdown stops without feeling like you're just scalping micro-moves?
