Good lithium batteries are rated at 500 full discharge cycles. If you charge them at 50% you should get 1000 cycles. Like all batteries heat will shorten their life. Fortunately they have builtin circuitry to keep them from being overcharged or over discharged as well as keeping them operating in a manner to prolong their lives. That is why they carry one year warranty at most Batteries with shorter warranty periods may last as long but their usually have been some shortcuts in manufacturing to keep prices down.

Some will probably last longer and less than that, but that's the average. I've also read that batteries will charge between 900 and 1200 times. Not sure exactly when they would start to lose their strength, but it probably has a lot to do with how much stress the battery has been under and how much it's been subjected to heat. I know the Nexus 6 used to get really hot when watching videos and stuff like that. But the Nexus 6P doesn't seem to get near as hot. I personally think that the larger the screen, the more warmth it's going to generate and put more stress on that battery. My iPhone SE never gets hot unless I'm doing a software update. But even then it doesn't get hot that long.
