Default When Do You Change Your Sewing Machine Needle?

I have a Janome sewing machine. I was looking at needles on their website and they recommend changing the needle after it has done 6 hours of sewing.

I’ve never given much thought to how many hours I sew a week but at the moment I’m practicing free motion quilting and try to do some every day. That’s on top of what ever I’m working on.

Going by their suggestion I would be changing the needle at least once or twice week.

Do you think this in necessarily and do you keep ‘used’ needles?
