The Intimidating Glare Barbarian Power does not note that there is a restriction about how often you can use the ability. As far as I understood, rage powers can only be used while in rage, but if the intimidating glare can be used multiple times during a rage (for a move action each), it's a pretty powerful ability.

Can someone clarify how often per rage this ability can be used?

I don't see any restrictions on how frequently you can use it, but note that:

You can attempt to intimidate an opponent again, but each additional check increases the DC by +5. This increase resets after one hour has passed.

So, Intimidating Glare basically changes the normal Demoralize action by:

  • Decreasing the action cost from a standard to a move action.
  • Reducing the range from 30 feet to just adjacency.
  • Increasing the base duration from 1 round to 1d4.

This is clearly an improvement, but I don't see it as crazily powerful or anything. Cornugon Smash is substantially better in most cases (though you can't get it until later).

The table of rage powers in the SRD lists some powers as being "once per rage".

There is no such restriction against Intimidating Glare.
