It depends on the location and when it first erupted and how bad that eruption was. If it was really bad then it might not erupt for hundreds of years later that's just how it is. Some scientist don't know and that's the truth so there isn't an exact answer to that question.
The number of times a volcano erupts varies greatly and depends on various factors such as its location, type, size, and geological history. Some volcanoes may erupt once and remain dormant for centuries, while others may erupt frequently over a short period of time. It is not possible to predict the exact number of times a volcano will erupt in its lifetime.
active- or live volcano is one that is erupting or has shown signs that it may erupt in the near future dormant- volcano to awaken in the future and become active extinct- or dead volcano is unlikely to erupt again

The frequency of volcanic eruptions varies depending on the volcano. Some volcanoes erupt frequently, while others may remain dormant for hundreds or thousands of years. It is difficult to predict exactly how many times a volcano will erupt in the future.
An extinct volcano has not had an eruption for at least 10,000 years and is not expected to erupt again in a comparable time scale of the future.This is in contract to a dormant volcano, which is an active volcano that is not erupting, but supposed to erupt again. An active volcano is a volcano that has had at least one eruption during the past 10,000 years. An active volcano might be erupting or dormant.
A volcano that is quiet for a long time but may erupt again is known as a dormant volcano. Dormant volcanoes are inactive for a significant period of time but still have the potential to become active and erupt in the future.
On average there are about 50 volcanic eruptions recorded each year, but they are from different volcanoes. It is doubtful that any volcano would erupt 5 times every year. Volcanoes can enter into different phases of activity and no two volcanoes are alike. One volcano may erupt every few years while another may go thousands of years without erupting. A volcano may erupt many times in a relatively short time as part of a phase of activity or, in the case of kilauea, sustained a single continuous eruption for a long time.
An extinct volcano is one that will never erupt again.
it is called a dormat volcano

An "active" volcano.
