Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New York

How to figure out the date a plaintiff could request for default entry in a civil case?

It seem so many possibilities apply per Rules 12 and 4(d). As a pro se , I have the date complaint was filed . How could I find the service date, weather the defendant signed a waiver or by what date a request for entry of default can be made?

is it 21 days, 60 days? 120 days? or else?
