I generally spend 2-3 hours during a session. I've submitted "3-4 hours" as I play more often with my 3-hour-ish group. How people (DMs) manage to run games for longer than 4 hours without passing out I have no idea.

We tend to start around 7pm and finish between 10 and 11pm, so 3-4 hours. We did have one marathon session, which was awesome, where we started at about 2pm, so that one lasted 8-9 hours, but that was the exception!
I run a game for my kids and one of my adult players kids. That game last around 3 to 4 hours on a average. Ages 10 to 15. With my adult players we go around 5 to 6 hours. We don't so much cover more story as there is more role-playing, and detail focused.
I have one group that has 2 hours scheduled, but usually spends half and hour to an hour talking beforehand. I have another group that usually plays for 3 and half hours or more. I went with 3-4, but 2-3 is more accurate.
Currently, the only table game I'm part of is regularly scheduled for 6 hours per session. Granted, most of these players and DM(s) have known each other, and have been playing together, for over twenty years. At least half of the session is spent with them catching up and bullshitting, often during active combat, between their individual turns. Just last night, the table game was interrupted by a football game which was kept on in the adjoining room; two of the players would fill in the table with updates, sent to their phones.
As I have no past with any of them, and cannot reminisce with them as they do, I find that form of regular distraction somewhat frustrating. They invited me in, and they're all good people and good players, so I just go with the flow as best I can.
