There is no late, assuming you're growing the plant indoors in good light. Some people like to put their succulents asleep in colder places like garages or unheated basements for the winter to induce a state of dormancy, and you want to avoid repotting just before that point, if that's your plan. Otherwise, given a sunny windowsill in your basic climate controlled indoor setting, these plants grow well year round, so you can repot whenever it's convenient for you. Try to avoid saturating the soil with water for a few days after repotting, in case there was any damage to the roots. But these are not sensitive plants.

If the question was about my avatar, it's Aloe plicatilis, the fan aloe. A highly branched tree from the winter rainfall area of South Africa, doing its winter thing.
