If it is an oil boiler that is not igniting and the reset is being constantly pressed, or it is not burning correctly and constantly recycling, then it could be hourly.
Typically, they are rated for operation at 33% in 3 mins. If the operation exceeds this figure, it will overload and burn out the internal wiring.

Not an oil boiler, a central heating condensing sealed system water boiler.

Wonderful how people love to totally generically describe a boiler without realising that there are many different makes and models with many different designs and different components.

Still waiting to hear his exact model and why he asks this question.
