Usually when I water them, I just do one heavy watering, then leave them alone till I can see the soil is visibly dry. So at times it is like watering them once a month or longer. Especially when it is winter, takes far longer for the soil to dry out. The root mass of succulents are so shallow and very fine. That is why it is easy to rot, coupled with cooler temps. Cool and wet is a very bad equation for succulents. Some may have not commented about the watering because they are growing it under grow lights not just by the window. Situations vary from each of our locations.
It will be different too if the succulent you have is a cool winter grower one. I have succulents that thrive happily during winter even if rained upon. But our rains are very spaced apart..this year almost way too dry.
It will be different during the warm months, and grown outdoors, soil gets dry easily and a little more watering is acceptable.
