How frequently do you refresh your VPS?

Just interested in what others do.

My primary aka production VPS running Cloudron has become twitchy this morning.
All started after Cloudron reboot server message.
Now frequent 'cloudron reconnecting' messages and apps appearing not to start.
May just be network, trying shutdown -r and hosting provider power cycle.

But it got me thinking.
Is it "old" ?
Had it 18 months, dedicated server from Hetzner server auction.
Would it be good practice to take a new server (younger hardware) and move Cloudron over ?

Do you have a policy of refreshing every XX months/years ?
Or you just run until you get errors ?

I've only ever moved once my existing setup runs out of space or I've added more apps and need more RAM/ CPU.
