Really depends, do an inspection on the belt and see if there are cracks or anything. I’ve had belts that only went 50k mi before change, I’ve also had a belt go 100k mi before it needed changed.

Check the manufacturer's recommendations.  Most timing chains and belts are changed out at around 100-120K miles.

100k miles is the average but you should also consider the age as well.
