Under full throttle or when you let off the throttle.

Also, is the car warm (at running temp 100%) or is it still cold?

I've noticed because of cam timing that the 2GR motor will backfire into the intake when it's cold on full throttle pulls.

My 350 does it, but only started after I deleted my resonator.

I occasionally get a nice pop - I have a the F-Sport intake and exhaust, with an Invidia midpipe. It's somewhat surprising that you get backfire with a stock midpipe.

I experience this some days when pulling out of work. We literally have to jet out of our side-street to merge into traffic...so though I don't mean to, some times I get more aggressive with the gas than one should before the car is warm. I'll get a cool-sounded pop/backfire in-between the first-second shift.

It's normal. I get about 100+ backfires just driving to and from school everyday lol. Especially if you delete the resonators and secondary cats, the backfires get really loud. One time, I downshifted under a tunnel and it backfired so loud, everyone's third brake lights came on lol.
