How Often Does the Bitcoin Network Adjust Its Difficulty Target?

The Bitcoin network adjusts its difficulty target approximately every two weeks, specifically after every 2,016 blocks have been mined. This adjustment ensures that the average time between blocks remains close to the 10-minute target, regardless of changes in the total computational power (hash rate) dedicated to the network.
