At what point would you be a DNR?

I’m piggybacking on the recent question about carrying out last rites.
CPR and intubation are very invasive, painful and damaging to the body. At some point would you choose to be DNR (do not resuscitate) vs being laid up in an ICU with a broken sternum, a breathing tube, and a failing system?
For me, I’m young and healthy, comparatively. If I were to need life saving intervention I’m all about it. However, as I become older and more brittle, I’m not so sure how I would feel. Some people never fully recuperate from CPR and intubation. They live in constant pain until death.
Is there an age limit to you wanting to be saved?
