I clean mine after every two or three range trips, or when it looks like any internal surfaces are getting close to dry. Figure 60-80 rounds per range trip, so I probably clean it every couple hundred rounds on average (mostly Tula steel-case).
In my experience, starting with a bolt and bolt carrier that are both pretty wet with Mobil 1 makes carbon cleanup a snap; pretty much wipe it off and re-lube.
