Depends on the situation.
but I would say 40% full manual and 20% Aperture priority 40% other modes.

Okay, just out of curiosity let's see if most people use full manual.
If you use full manual at any time, yes, that means even on occasion, please say Aye!
If you never use full manual please say Nay!
I guess since I'm the lucky (or is that dumb) one to ask this question I guess I get to do the counting.
Ready, set, go!

Nay! I use auto focus and auto ISO most of the time, all else is manual

I've been shooting since the early 60s. There wasn't a whole lot about my cameras then that I didn't know; determine what shutter/diaphragm combination was appropriate, focus and click. But with the transition to digital I discovered that there are so many hidden capabilities and problems that it's literally impossible to keep all the solutions in my head. I've spent hundreds of hours shooting wildlife in Florida swamps and it's a rare day when someone doesn't approach me to discuss how to get some feature on their camera to work.... and sometimes they've only had the camera for a few days. I tell them all that I've been shooting for over 50 years and I never leave home without my manual. If you do not move beyond the camera's automatic settings or "there's an ap for that", you'll never master your camera or the art of photography.

Full manual 97+% augmented by Auto-ISO with range limits so as not to miss certain very lowlight shots with my Nikon D850. Did much the same with Nikon D810
