I don't think there's any "usually" -- as far as I know, most people don't utilize the space. But it could be used as a space to explain an unusual academic circumstance, or to go into further detail about an award or extracurricular. It could be a place for an additional essay that doesn't fit into the other prompts. It could be a place to discuss self-studied subjects.

The space is totally optional, but if you have something else you'd like to say to the admissions committee, you can say it there.
