When should the pencil tip be replaced?

The pencil came with an extra tip, but when should it be replaced? Is there some kind of wear indicator. I use it a few days a week, all day long, for taking notes in school and doing homework.

This is what Apple says here https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205236

Under the Title "Replace the Tip":

"If the tip of your Apple Pencil becomes worn or damaged, you can replace it. There's an extra tip in the box, and you can buy more if you need to. Just unscrew the tip and screw in the new one."
