Autopilot AND autothrottle disconnected? I'd say less than 10 minutes per month, all on final approach below 1000ft. B744, major carrier. The autothrottle is engaged for departure when I'll fly it manually up to about 10000ft. I don't fly manual approaches in busy TMAs when I've been up all night and am half asleep.
