Something to add to this is; if you wipe your strings and guitar neck with a microfiber cloth or cleaning supplies for your guitar. A quick wipedown with a microfiber towel will give your strings a longer life and it's good for overall guitar care.
Like others have said, every couple of months is a good cadence but remember, it is not a law or anoything. When I was young and broke, I change a string as it broke. That's how I 'changed' strings. I wasn't a prolific string breaker so my string would last forever but eventually they lose their brightness mojo and you just have to change.
So, there isn't a specific time required to change but every few months, if you can, not a bad idea.
