I think I meant 3-5 years. (Maybe longer or shorter) I actually don't keep a log so I don't know. I just sand it down so it is flat once it gets bumpy. I don't sand it down to complete shine but I remove any buildup and create a clean smooth surface. From there I season it on the grill a few times.

It shouldn't ever be bumpy. If your cast iron is growing lumps and bumps in the pan, you're not cleaning it properly. A chainmail washcloth is a great tool for cleaning the bulk off then pan. Then use a non-lye soap, like dawn, to wash it. (Yes you can use soft soap on cast iron! It's only lye-based soaps that eat through the seasoning.)

I want to disagree since everything I’ve read says this shouldn’t be necessary but I’ve really only used cast iron since COViD so it hasn’t come up yet
