The burner ports on a gas stove become clogged over time and they don't function well. They need regular cleaning, but how often should you do it?

Ideally, you're cleaning your gas stovetop after each time you use it. In reality, you're probably not cleaning it quite that often — maybe you wipe it down whenever you (ideally) clean your kitchen.
