Riding brake pads until there's no material left seems economical, but it leads to rotor damage and excessive heat, which can cause brake fade and failure.
To avoid costly repairs, regularly inspect and swap out brake pads as it's a simple process and significantly cheaper than dealing with brake failures.
Checking for brake pad wear involves a visual inspection, including removing wheels for a clear view or pulling out the pads for closer inspection.
Using a brake block when changing pads is important to prevent piston extension; alternatively, a tire lever can substitute for a makeshift solution.
