You’re not quite understanding. There is no max scheduled hours other than you have to have a day off a week. Trust me if you’re scheduled for a 13 hour day that contains 7 hours of flying, what you’ve got in between is rest breaks, eating, bathroom, flight planning etc... if the company schedules you for those six days and you time out you’re still paid. Extra duty days however outside your line are likely to be “spare” duty, which will be a higher percentage of sit.
Thirteen hour days with 7+ hours of flying and 6-8 legs are very tiring. You need your breaks. If you’re bored and have too much energy go vacuum the plane, clean the windshield, and get your captain coffee
