As the title says, I wonder how long is the interval between end of contest and update of rating.

I'm new to codeforces, so I don't know, pls no downvote awa

It depends on the type of contest. Sometimes ratings may be updated after 3-4 hours from the end of the contest, and sometimes it takes 1-2 days.

If it's an Educational round or a Div-3 round. (Which follow ICPC rules) there is a hacking phase of 12 hours post contest completion.
Hacks are made by users and then all problems are rejudged on system tests with the successful hacks added to the sys tests.
Hence final standings are determined after a day (actually 12 hours + system tests).
In regular codeforces rounds hacking is done during the contest duration itself. System testing is done some minutes/hours post contest completion. The final standings are quickly determined.
Hence,
Results are relatively quickly updated for regular rounds compared to Educational/Div3 rounds.
