I used one of those little chain cleaning devices and then lube with either wet or dry lube dependent on weather. As to miles, I would guess probably about 1,500 per annum
steel = chains don't stretch - they become longer due to wear.
but back to OP - when thus chain sucking occurs, which sprocket are you in on the cassette? the smaller the sprocket the less tension you get from the rear mech which makes the problem worse, also if chain has too many links.
most likelh if this has started to happen, it is the granny ring that is worn and/or the chain.

yeah, it`s on the granny ring - had a look at it and one tooth in particular seemed way out of shape so I filed it down lol - still suffering from chain suck but not nearly as often as before - am actually getting better at avoiding it, quick back-pedal and it seems Ok!
