I'd guess it was between 6-9k with live and dry fire before it broke. The point is, they can and will break, and after say, 7-9K with out replacement, even if it isn't broke, your chances of it breaking only go up. Not a problem with a range gun, but it could be a problem with a EDC gun. When mine broke it gave no warning at all.. I'd guess most people don't want to fool with it because without the pliers HK parts net sells, they are a royal pain in the ass to change..(Ask me how I know) When Todd Green was doing his famous "tests" He had a couple break on him, One, I remember only went about 2k before breaking. Bad spring I guess, because the replacement gave him no issue. Beretta's were famous for breaking TRS's. However it seems they have redesigned the spring, and they are much more durable. And, really they are much easier to change. Where HK comes out a little ahead of everybody else is, that they've been able to maintain a certain quality standard when others(like Glock S&W for example) were having problems. This is what really sets them apart. It's not that they are so much better, but rather they're much more consistent..
