I've done 200k without an issue and another day might have done 50k and come home cut to ribbons. Depends on the knicks, how they fit, your saddle, weather, temperature, etc. I don't tend to use chamois creme but on longer rides I'm using Assos knicks. They're not necessarily better than others but they are consistently good, whereas some other pairs of knicks I have must sit awkwardly some times and cause issues.
Work on moving around or adjusting things when you notice it until it's better. You'll have an idea of what to change then. Or just be like all the closet roadies on this forum and lube up like a soho popper freak on speed..
