I love using cheers as thank you, or as a friendly way to start or end a conversation or leave the room. I live in the US, and I frequently get comments about using that word. I don't think that I've heard too many people use that word, other than just before we have a drink together.

I see cheers used most often when two people drinking will raise the glass and touch them lightly. Makes a nice tinkle sound. And of course "being in good cheer". And in sports, they "cheer" their team on.
It might help if you looked in a dictionary. It may give you some other answers. Good luck.

"Cheers" in America is exclaimed
with a raised drink in the hand as a salute to the health.

No people use cheers mostly when they are about to toast to something when celebrating. It's not exactly used to give thanks.

No, we say it following a toast, as in "congratulations" or
"good luck." (United States)
