Sounds like maybe 2-3 years or so https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/how-often-do-you-change-ph-probe-on-your-apex.188082/page-2
I’m on year 4 of my pH probe. I plan to replace this year, although I don’t see a reason to yet.
My temperature probe died sometime in year 3. It was off by over 5 degrees and couldn’t be calibrated. I lost a couple acros due to this.
I haven’t replaced the salinity probe. I removed the ORP probe and function a while ago.

every 2 years, but I have backups on hand of everything.

Fairly new to Apex, but with my previous bit of kit I'd simply replace the probes once they were worn out. Waste of money to replace them before; if they calibrate well and gives acceptable reading then don't limit yourself by setting dates for replacements.
I do have a spare PH probe in the house; I have no spare for ORP, Salinity or Temperature (.. I should probably have for temperature!)
