I agree with Ryan’s suggestions. I’ve been using the ASIAIR PA routine in various mounts for a couple years and never been too far away for it to work (sometimes I’ve been so far in my setup I’ve had to drag the tripod legs and it still followed me ok).

However I will say that platesolving will start to get problematic for me if
1) ASIAIR expects you to be in one particular position and you are a long way from it due to poor GOTO alignment (but this has never bothered the PA platesolves in my experience)
2) the inputted FL is off
3) mount tracking is turned off (happens sometimes if GOTO home)
4) external influence affecting seeing (cloud/light)
5) very long FL and/or small sensor giving small fov
