https://www.freebsd.org/releases/ reports (mixing "Most Recent" and
"Prior Releases - EOL" lines for 13.x):

    =E2=80=A2 Release 13.2 (April 11, 2023) Announcement : Release Notes =
: Installation Instructions : Hardware Compatibility List : Readme : =
Errata : Signed Checksums
. . .
    =E2=80=A2 13.1 (May 16, 2022) Announcement : Release Notes : =
Installation Instructions : Hardware Compatibility List : Readme : =
Errata : Signed Checksums
    =E2=80=A2 13.0 (April 13, 2021) Announcement : Release Notes : =
Installation Instructions : Hardware Compatibility List : Readme : =
Errata : Signed Checksums

and for the end of the 12.x releases:

    =E2=80=A2 12.4 (December 5, 2022) Announcement : Release Notes : =
Installation Instructions : Hardware Compatibility List : Readme : =
Errata : Signed Checksums
    =E2=80=A2 12.3 (December 7, 2021) Announcement : Release Notes : =
Installation Instructions : Hardware Compatibility List : Readme : =
Errata : Signed Checksums

Looks more like around a year for each separate stable/?? to me.
