Mid-late LA TC ~ 1hr in Perp (48 hr host), getting beat on so limited options
Mid-late MA Pan ~ .5hr in Newbies (48 hr host), getting beat on so limited options
Mid-late MA Mict ~ .5-1hr in Epic Heroes (48 hr host), pretty limited option nation

Mid unlucky is pretty much over (you can reset if you need GP), but for late game EA TC it was about 2 hrs/turn including tweaks.

I am presently in 3 mp games:

Alpaca-MA Pangaea
Big Game-MA Ctis
Epic Heroes-MA Shinuyama

Alpaca is late game. Five players left, and total war is about to ensue. So that game will be over i think in next 15-20 turns. I spend 30 minutes a turn. Not much diplomacy left.

Epic Heroes-Game is on turn 50 or so. I spend 10 minutes per turn. My war is going smoothly. Little diplomacy.

Big Game-turn 60ish. I spend about 1 hour per turn, and maybe another hour doing diplomacy. By far more time spent on this game than the other 2 combined.

But being at war with 5 people tends to require your "A" game for survival.

After Alpaca wraps up, I will not join another game, though I may sub some. I think 2 games is my new max.

But I do plan another flurry of work on the Epic Heroes Mod after that game wraps up, then hosting one more Epic Heroes Mod game, before releasing the final version of it.

I'm playing in Perpetuality and Hydrant. And two is as much as it goes for me, I don't even know why I took up the second game while still going strong in Perp.

I answered 30 minutes which is way too small for time I use with Perp. On the other hand, I can't consider that a representative example since I've never had that big an empire - and I doubt I will soon have another chance. I'm just glad the game's going 72 hours soon...

You're in HYDRANT because it looked like way too much fun, and I begged.

I am in two currently, and I think that is my max. Two games takes plenty of time for me.

I'm in 4 games atm:
Nuance - late mid game
Jaguar - early late game, only 3 human players left
DoomChicken - early game
Perpetuality - late game

Generally, i'm trying to keep between 3 and 4 games running, with no more than two in mid or late stage. I don't micromanage often, so i can keep early game time per turn to 5-10 minutes including diplomacy, mid late game time to 15 minutes to 45 minutes a day (per game) including diplomacy.
That assumes 24h timers - most games go to slower timer once in middle stage so that's a turn per 2 days usually.
