[Wannier] MLWFs convergence

Hello all,

I am new to wannier90 so I apologize in advance if my questions are very
basic.
I tried getting MLWFs for some exotic phase of solid nitrogen containing 16
atoms in the unit cell.
I ran wannier90 using the usual steps (i.e scf, nscf, wannier90 -pp
seedname , pw2wan and wannier90 seedname) all steps ran without errors.
The convergence on the change in total spread is good (<1E-08) and the
individual spread for each one of the MLWFs is small (except  for one MLWF
which had a spread of approx. 14 A^2).
My question is regarding the imaginary to real ratio I get when I set
wannier_plot to true.
Most of the ratios are small but my question is - how small should this
ratio be in order for me to trust my results? is there an agreed upon
number?
Below I attached parts of the output file from wannier90.

Thank you for your help,

Barak
