When you'd hear it
껏 is neutral and common in both conversation and writing, usually in familiar combinations such as 마음껏, 힘껏, 정성껏, and 양껏. It appears in everyday speech, workplace contexts, and written instructions or descriptions.
What learners get wrong
껏 is normally attached to a noun rather than used by itself. 마음껏 means without limiting the amount or extent, while 마음대로 means according to one’s own choice or way, so they are not interchangeable.
