It is highly informal and typically used in casual settings among friends or colleagues.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 搞掂, which is far more common and neutral. 搞𠶧 is more specific to the sense of something being completely finished or settled, and it can sound slightly more emphatic or even impatient depending on the tone.
