Chopin prelude 21

Do I change pedal every eighth note on part A? Also how often should I change pedal on part B?

It depends. I would do a lot of half pedalling and change often, but not as a rule on every 8th. You want some bass note resonance to linger without muddying the chromaticism too much.
