I have rhubarb growing in my garden. When do you cut it for freezing or cooking? When is the right harvest time?

Where I grew up we didn't cut the rhubarb, we pulled each stalk out. I don't know how to explain when to cut it. You don't want it to get too old. Maybe when the stalks are about as big around as your thumb, sometimes a little smaller.
I agree with redhattterb, pull it, don't cut it. Pulling it makes new shoots come up and that is what keeps it multiplying. Pull it anytime it seems large enough to pull.
As soon as it gets tall and thick. You can get many harvests if you keep it trimmed down.
