How do you know when saw files need to be replaced? (lemm.ee)

I can’t tell if I’m sharpening incorrectly or if my file is just worn out. Is there a way to tell? I read somewhere to replace after like five sharpening a but that seems really short.

It is really short. Files go dull and don't really give any signs. 5 is a good rule of thumb, but some go as little as 3 or as many as 10.
