No tampons, baby wipes, etc. ever. Even if they say "flushable" on the box.
Otherwise day to day no big deal. You have to watch what gets planted around it (fought for years against bamboo the previous owners planted....). Be aware of what you dump down it - washing off plates is fine, scraping out gobs of grease from your fryer, etc. isn't. Try to limit mass dumps of water w/ chemicals - ie no doing 10 loads of laundry in a day. Especially if the ground is well soaked from heavy rains.
Depending on how much you use/abuse it you could go ages with no issues, but repairs are relatively inexpensive DEPENDING on your local laws/oversight/etc. I'm in the country and have fairly low county code fees, a removal (and carting off of old drain bed, etc), reinstall, and boost size 60% only cost 2500 ...
