When you can no longer seal the cracks, if water can infiltrate the surface, or if the surface is no longer solid or sound it is time to re-stucco. As long as the stucco is hard, solid, and not deteriorating to the point it is soft or crumbling or can no longer be sealed to keep water out, it should be OK.
