Do you keep the clutch depressed while waiting at a stop light? That will heat it. Do you shift often or are you on a highway most of the time? Are you running events and hard shifting. Do you ride with your left foot on the pedal?
All these thing contribute to heat and "wearing" out.
Some of my antique cars have graphite TOBs. Very poor life compared to the new ones.

I took 3 Mitsubishis up to 200,000 miles and never replaced a TOB. I had many 50s and 60s MT cars and never replaced a TOB. I had a 400+ HP Talon and never replaced a TOB. The FRS went through two of them. Yes they are a wear item but even some wear items are just crap no matter how they are used.
