Fork & Rear Suspension Service How Often?

This is a Pink Bike survey, what do you do? This is my first bike with full suspension.
I've got over 600 hours this year and I never thought about it. Holy crap! I've only owned it this year

I clean the muck off seals and slides every ride. A drop or 2 of shock oil in the air chamber every so often. Other than that no servicing unless something is leaking or clunking. Going on 3 yrs for my main ride. Kinda amazing, as previous forks or shocks would have been clunkin or leaking after 18 months if not sooner.

i learned this lesson the hard way by ruining a fork ignoring service, now i try to get it within 10% of the recommended service interval. Things work better and last longer this way....

I’m terrible with maintenance, but every 50 hours for oil? Does it really break down that much?

oil and seals every 50-70hrs, if it needs anything anything further than that buy a whole new bike.
