What is the tds pre di?
Unless it is 2-4 ppm tds, collecting until the tds reads 2 ppm in the effluent us not going to cut down on di costs much.
There is also a substantial concern that di effluent when the tds first rises may be worse than no di, because weekly bound ions will be displaced by tighter bound ions, potentially releasing substantial ammonia and silicate.
