    There's also an indication in the novelisation that pre-hyperspace ships used to use carbonite freezing as a form of suspended animation. So the answer is potentially thousands or even millions. It's considered undesirable though, due to the potential for side-effects and death.

    It could also be used to transport livestock so they are not running around the ship. In which case there may be some acceptable failure rate. Oct 7, 2016 at 20:48
