how often do you guys sharpen a chain? in cords or hours or whatever you want to measure with? do you sharpen after a hour or two?

Depends on how hard and how dirty the wood is and what type of chain.
Yeah what they said. If you place the chain on the tree and squeeze the trigger the saw should pull toward the tree and no downward pressure need be applied to the saw. Chips of a uniform size should fly. No dust or powder when cutting solid wood. The cut should be straight and true with no binding or hopping.
Excessive filing should be avoided! after a few filings the raker height needs re- setting to ensure fair chip size. With a new raker file 2 good strokes per raker is a good start. To much filing of these will result in very grabby chain. Though an 090 with a 30" bar and a new full house filed 4 strokes per raker makes impressive chips you must use two hands and both feet to hold on to it.
In clean wood I have gone two or three days with much less than a touch up. In bad wood or beach sand prepare to file often.

when it gets dull. Sometimes hours and hours...sometimes just one cut on a dirty stump
