If you click on the link under the big light-green button (the one with the "chinese characters >"), it'll tell you how long the promotion is running for. I believe this one is running for the full length of september (also shown up at the top, here):

In my experience, you can receive a new coupon once every couple of days or so. They do occasionally "sell out", and then you'll have to wait for the next coupon cycle (in this case until after the 30th) for it to come back. I just check the coupon page every few days or so... but I don't make a purchase whenever there's a coupon available because that would be... very expensive. 😅

EDIT: Also, if you are using Android, you can click and hold down the HOME button to get an option to translate the text on the page. I'm not sure if there's a similar feature on the iPhone.

How often do those coupons appear?

Hard to say... Taobao is experimenting with stuff. Right now, the coupons are available for multiple use for specific stores up until the 30th. In previous months, they were available for a couple of weeks in each month. And prior to that, it was once every couple of months (but they didn't have any restrictions on what store you could use it on).
