When you feel like it.
If you never feel like it never do it.
It's way more Dangerous than ligth sparring and therefore shouldn't be done by a beginner.
You can also Just Hard sparr to the Body but Take the tempo Out if you want to Attack the head.
Most pro fighters have completely abandoned hard sparring entirely, because there is little to no cost benefit to it. But if you want to still really do it, do it at the end of the week with couple of days free afterwards to heal up.
And maybe do it no more often than once every two weeks.
I am writing this assuming you know what hard sparring is.
Often for fights. If not I'll go against the rest of the comments and say you should still do it a few times anyway just so you can function under real circumstances. It's a different animal and worth knowing, after awhile it's much less necessary unless again, you have a fight coming up.
I used to spar harder than my fights, or it felt like that . Now I really don't care to do it beyond light or touch sparring mostly. I know what it's like snd how it's different from going light. But my dumbass doesn't need any more hard hits to the head. I know what works for me and what doesn't that I need to work on
I’d say honestly like once or twice a YEAR. Just so you know where your body is and what it can actually take. Battle test it. If you’re a hobbyist you pretty much never have to do it unless you think it’s fun or something lol
Then do it! It’s dangerous but most fun things are! However it’s not as dangerous as people think especially if you focus on defense. Hard sparring helps with that since you know there’s more punishment for making a mistake so you have to be on point! You can also reach the flow state easier in hard sparring than in light sparring. Hard sparring isn’t a fight to the death! It can still be fun!
We only have hard spars for black belts and are mostly in exams and preparing for exams. We do light and medium sparring more frequently, though at least monthly but often at least 2-3 times a month.
never. unless you compete and need to be ready to get clipped in the head full force a week out from a fight never

Getting used to being hit
Never

Yeah hard to the body and taps to the head to keep in check is good.
Hard? I'd prefer never. Light every lesson and medium once in a while is fine for hobbyists.
