This depends on how intensively you use your darts and on the quality of the dartboard you play on. If you often throw on a lower-quality dartboard, your points will wear out faster. Additionally, on such boards, you often experience more bouncers, causing your darts (barrels) and points to become damaged or worn out more quickly.

Especially with darts that have a paint coating, this coating can wear off fairly quickly because the darts frequently hit each other.

Furthermore, darts made from brass will wear out faster than darts made from tungsten, because tungsten is a much sturdier material. This makes tungsten darts more expensive, but ultimately also more durable. In contrast to brass darts, which are cheaper but need to be replaced more often.

By regularly replacing the points of your darts, you can usually continue playing with your darts for a long time. Still, many dart players replace their darts regularly. This is because new darts often have more grip and because many players find it interesting to try out new equipment.
