Until you have returned a signed offer letter that has zero contingencies, you are smart to keep applying and interviewing.
Examples of contingencies are: contract award, background check, drug test, customer approval....
As long as there are contingencies they can easily delay your start date, or cancel the offer. So today you evaluate company X as a better situation, but in a few weeks that might not be true.
Don't think to much about this. Employers know that people who are looking for jobs are juggling multiple situations, each of which is at a different stage of the process.

I signed and accepted an offer recently with company X. I completed my drug test and currently in the process of background check. But the start day of this offer is one month away from now, and I have an interview with company Y coming up next week.
I know I want to work for company X no matter if I receive an offer from company Y or not. I think I can pass the background check since I don't have any criminal records. But people mentioned companies sometime rescind the offer due to budget cut, change in policy, etc. Anything can happen in one month, I don't want to be in a situation if company X rescinds the offer and I lose other opportunities.
1) I am not sure if continue to interview after accepting an offer is the right thing to do, should I continue to interview? What if the company X rescind the offer?
2) When is the exact time I can stop looking for jobs and interview? After a background check? First day of work?
