What's the frequency level of 時々?

Question

Sometimes it's translated as 'often', sometimes 'at times'. It's confusing.
How often, exactly, is 時々?

Answer 1

時々 should be closer to "sometimes" in English.

Questioning its frequency is a bit absurd as it is not numerical. Try to answer this: how often is "sometimes", and how about even "often"?

Perhaps it makes more sense to compare them relatively:

1. never ~ 絶対にしない
2. occasionally ~ たまに
3. sometimes ~ 時々
4. often ~ よく
5. always ~ 常に
