I assume it's just a slab-on-grade? If so, we never put joints in those. The randomized cracking that develops is usually acceptable in a cellar/basement.
It all depends on the construction. Is it a non-structural slab on grade? Is it a structural mat foundation? Will the seasonal water table ever be above the elevation of the slab? Lots of things to consider.
Each one (or combination of variables) may result in a different answer.
It is a basement floor with mat on piles foundation, 6.5 h retaining basement walls, and flat slab with drop panels. Water table is not present, but surface water might flood the area.
Codes don't design buildings, engineers do. For a retaining wall or slab on grade, sure, there are some good rules of thumb. And there are some for building expansion joints, too. But even with those, the answer will be vastly different between a 5m x 400m and a 45m x45m building.
Basements will have near constant thermal conditions so I'd be prepared to stretch the upper limits. For most buildings this would mean no movement joint.
My basement is L shaped.
We put strips leading out from the inside corner in both directions.
I would have put strips every 25 or 30 or so feet even if it was a simple rectangle.
Also steel mesh, and a full poly film vapor barrier on grade before pouring.
