As many times as you want to pay for it and the dentist is willing to do it!
As many as it takes to get it right . . . . as long as there is plenty of tooth structure.
Well, that’s determined by the treating dentist if the crown is fractured or if the tooth is decayed under the crown.
As long as the tooth that the crown fits onto is solid and healthy, the answer is "many times."
The porcelain crown can be replaced if there is decay, fracture, cosmetic needs or recurrent decay is present. As far as how many times, depends on how much tooth structure still is remained, the retention form of the prepared tooth, and the health of surrounding tooth structure with sufficient bone!

As many times as needed. Dental insurance will cover a crown replacement on the same tooth every 5-7 years. Theoretically that is twelve times over your life time. Well made high quality crowns crafted by a skilled attentive highly trained dentist and produced by a high quality laboratory should protect the supporting tooth longer, possibly 15-20 years. Depending on how it is maintained. Keep in mine not all dentist are the same, some have higher skills than others. Find the most skilled dentist you can.
As long as the tooth has sufficient structure to retain the crown without breaking.
