Seasonal timing
A first frost near Oct 19 sets the depth the ground freezes to, and everything that freezes has to drain back out once April warms past 61 degrees.

People also ask
No. Repeated trips point at a motor drawing more than it should or moisture where it shouldn't be, and both get worse with use. An electrician or plumber should see it before the next wet stretch. In the meantime, assume the pit is not protected.
Usually the discharge line is still frozen or blocked somewhere past the wall. The pump keeps pushing against a closed pipe, which cooks the motor while the pit stays full. Shutting it off at the breaker until someone can look at the line prevents the expensive version of the problem.
No, and adding one isn't automatically an upgrade. Some foundations here drain to daylight and never needed a pump. Damp that persists after the ground dries out is the signal that the existing drainage isn't keeping up.
Most give somewhere around seven to ten years, but cycles matter more than the calendar. A pit that runs every few minutes through a wet spring ages a pump far faster than one that runs a dozen times a season. A change in the sound it makes is the cheapest early warning there is.
