Only when it physically breaks beyond repair. And even then, sometimes I buy the same model again.

I take good care of my phones, so they physically last longer than the firmware does. I upgraded my Pixel 3a to a 7Pro because the 3a would start freezing, crashing apps, rebooting, etc, pretty much making it unusable for anything longer than a couple of phone calls or 15 minutes of internet/socials usage.

I imagine I'll have this phone for like 4-5 years, fingers crossed.
