We do it in our Parish and when I have visited Greek Orthodox Churches I have also seen it.  It is used at Bis=rthdays, Names days, and anniversaries. His Grace Bishop Basil of Witchita and Mid America has written a service for celebrating  milestone anniversaries in which is is sung fully to the couple whose anniversary it is.

I'm in an Antiochian parish and it's sung quite frequently, but always AFTER the Liturgy or Great Vespers or whatever service was celebrated.

I have never heard it chanted (or sung) among the Greeks or within GOAA parishes.

One exception to this comment, for a short period of time, my GOAA parish had a Russian assistant priest, who, along w/me, sang it to our presiding priest on the occasion of an anniversary of his ordination.
