The sunnah is to make it three times but this is not a must.

Sheikh, I heard that when one makes a dua for something, it is good to make it consistently over time. I wanted to know is it the sunnah, when one makes a general dua to repeat it three times (at that given time)? Or was it only specific duas the Prophet -salah Allahu ali wa salam- said thrice?
