  One every two weeks (about) don't seem "rare" to me.

    Its rare to have to avoid an active satellite, rather than random orbiting garbage.

  How many maneuvers can such a satellite do with it's limited fuel?

    The Aeolus satellite needs to be reboosted on occasion due to atmospheric drag. So, potentially, it was free.
