Every night.
A gum stimulator can be used once daily, in conjunction with brushing, flossing, and a water pik device.
You should be able to use the stimulator several times a day. Watch for signs of irritation. Work with your hygienist to make sure you are using it correctly. I know you can't do that until they reopen dental offices for routine procedures.

If you aren’t flossing, then daily. Please be careful, gentle, or you can do irreversible damage if your gums are not healthy.
I strongly recommend the use of gum stimulators. They should be used daily. If possible, before bedtime is best so that your mouth is debrided before the hopefully many hours of sleep.
I never recommend Gum stimulators to my patients. I think their use is unnecessary
1 to 2 times daily it can be used with extra time in an area that might be inflamed
