The caresheets are your best friend and reference. https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/panther/

Juveniles 6-12 months of age: 10-12 medium crickets every other day

ditto the above.
The size and type of prey /feeders matters. As a general rule of thumb, give your chameleon as much as it can eat in about 5 minutes, once or twice a day.
