Every 3-4 days for me, otherwise things get wonky

What android phone are you using? I can go fine for nearly a month. Would've been longer but need to reboot to apply security updates.

Pixel.

I have a LOT of apps (300+ user apps), I use my phone constantly for a lot of stuff.

I have a Realme phone and have similar number of apps and also multi task heavily. Fortunately, I have 12GB of RAM so reboot is not necessary.

RAM isn't what matters, it's how individual apps are designed - cleaning ram is automatic via OOM, or you can trigger it.

I can run an OOM cycle and it doesn't make the phone run longer, just better for now as the ram consumers get unloaded.

I have some apps that cause issues.
