Typical time to replace brake "pucks"

My RT has 24k miles on it and it will soon be going to the dealer for service. When are other riders changing their brake pucks/pads?

I think you'll see a lot of variation. My GSA needed rear pads at ~30K but the fronts are still original at 41K.

Seems to vary all over the board (so to speak.) Here was my recent experience:

You might want to consult your owner's manual for guidance on inspecting your pads. I just replaced my rear pads, a second time, after only 4,000 miles. That was unacceptable. The problem turned out to be binding floating caliper pins. I fixed the problem, and now the wear and binding issue appears to have been resolved.

Thanks for that advice and link.
