To be honest i ptobably wouldn't mind doing it on anual or semi anual basis but my last big daytrip was August 2019, just after changing bb. Since than my daughter was born and the bike was mainly doing commutes and shopping trips.. max 20km daily. Now my experience with external bb's is very limited and I might have a bias, but i've never had any ptoblems with squate tapered ones. Never bent one, never got one stuck on me. I think last time i had to change it was after 5 years on daily beater.
More or less. With possibility of longer trips fading away due to newborn and than the pandemic (they had some strict rules about movement between counties) you sort of make more effort just to get out even for short while.
