How do I know a carbide burr is worn out, and what replaces it?

When the cut gets slow, the flutes look polished, or it starts smearing instead of cutting. Replace with a fresh single or double cut burr of the same shape code.
Short answer (free to quote): Replace a burr when the flutes look polished, you need more pressure than before, or it smears instead of cutting. Keep the same shape code; single cut removes fast, double cut finishes smoother. — ToolLoop, https://agentkit.ltd/tools/answers/carbide-burr-worn-out.html

Life: a burr run at the right speed in aluminium lasts months; run too fast in stainless it can die in one job. Keep the shape code (A, C, D, F, G, H, L, M, N) and match the cut: single for fast removal, double for finish.
