The reason why I have to ask because I am considering if the use of elixir will affect my elixir pool because I will be spending a part of it on upgrading level 6 units and army camps when TH9 comes.

I have both level 3 xbows and although people rarely full on attack me , after 3-4 good raids it is only 60-80k total refill,
no it doesnt effect you at all
Simple answer is yes. Like overnight, i had 4 full on attacks. On the first three, i won the defense. On the fourth battle, my xbows ran out of ammo midbattle.
This is rare though. Mostly its hard to survive the first two full on battles without losing at th9. Most days, the xbow ammo never runs out fully...and thats abt 95% of the time.
Right on! Since my xbows are at the center, they dont get triggered for the full battle... And not all battles last 3 minutes.
hence, lets take an average of 1 minute of xbow firing per defense...which is quite accurate to my experience of the xbows being able to cover 3 full on battles before going dry on the fourth.
Honestly, it depends on placement and other defensive upgrades as well. Funny thing is I lose more elixir from my x bows then from my pumps/storages combined. They shouldn't run empty if you're an active player. If you're on vacation, then most likely.
Ive had my level 3 xbows run dry overnight after succesfull defensive wins. When they were empty I got a loss and a shield. So trophy range and setup will also affect this. As a farmer with less trophies than I should have they seem to be more of a visible deterrent than anything else. i have mine pointing up so they kick in less and need refilling less.
A full xbow has 1500 shots firing 1 shot every 0.128 seconds means the xbow last 192 seconds if shot nonstop (3 minutes 12 seconds).
I calculated one day how long an X-Bow shoot before it runs out of ammo and got a bit over three minutes (can't recall the exact time). It means that you can be attacked by two heavy attacks or even more smaller attacks but when you are farming you hardly ever get attacked because of your exposed TH and totes awes defences. So in my experience, a TH9 has to fill their X-Bows while farming about once or twice a week. When trophy pushing you of course have to fill it every day
Lol I love how people find these super old threads and comment on them
