To plot the maximum stress over time in APDL, you would need to extract the maximum stress at each time step and store it in an array for later plotting. This can be done using the *GET command in APDL, which can be used to extract the maximum stress in the element after performing a solution and creating a plot of stress. You can refer the below link.

Below is the link to how to use the GET command.

Hope this helps.
