I find the blades of my sticks last longer if i tape them up well. I always go from heel to toe leaving no part exposed. Really helps to prevent chips and cracks.
Got my APX (85 flex) as a gift in January and have used it for atleast 25-30 games since (maybe more), still going strong. I take occasional clappers but mostly snaps and wristers. Havent noticed much wear at all to be honest. I try and flex my blade every so often to feel for wear but its still holding up very well along with the shaft.

5 league games for sure. A few drop ins and stick and pucks every week. The toe start splitting about 2 weeks ago (got the stick the weekend it came out) and ive had at least a game every week after that. Getting pretty bad and i tape the toe completely but imo..tape doesnt protect too much. The flex started to give maybe about the same time as the crack started to form. My blade is getting a bit soft (i take a lot of slapshots and one timers) but my blade got jammed in the zamboni door so i have a small crack on the back side.
