Thyme can be cut at any time during the spring and summer to harvest. Harvesting thyme is easy. Simply snip off what you need for your recipe. Once a thyme plant is established (planted a year), it is very hard to over harvest the plant. If you have just planted your thyme, cut back no more than 1/3 of the plant. It is best though to stop harvesting thyme about 3-4 weeks before the first frost in order to allow the more tender stems to harden off some before the cold comes.
