I would wait no longer than 2-3 weeks. It is important to build the tooth up and protect with a full coverage crown.

After a root canal the tooth is suseptable to fracture since there is no longer any blood supply to the root. It is best to have a post and crown

Root canal teeth become brittle and will break . When that happens is not easy to determine. Get the post and or core will help ti last until you get the crown

You could delay the crown by about a month or two, but the longer you wait, the higher the risk it could crack. Ideal time is within 2-3 weeks.
