From what I have read, at a minimum, 10-20% on a monthly schedule. It's better to do less on a weekley basis. But I woulod bet a lot of people have good luck with much less.

I do 10-15
weekly. Probably more than most, but I am also a little on the overstocked side and I feed more than I probably should.
