What's the safest number of hours to bot for in total per day.
Number of hours to do so before breaking
and number of minutes-or-hours per break.
I don't like macroing with my main, but at times i just need to. And i also need to be safe.
Feel free to answer with your best guess

My setup is 8 hours with 2 breaks of 20 minutes for my main, and for skiller/bot accounts is 8 hours straight.

Technically there is no safe level to bot, if you truly want to be safe you need to use a solid script in an area with little amounts of people, or so many that you blend in.
Example: Alching at GE, no one will report you on the 2000 player worlds.
Example: Alching in your house, no one can report you.
Example: Alching at soulwars, everyone knows people do that there to stop randoms, and usually only autoers will auto there, thus reported.
Don't run for more than 12 hours. I did and I didn't get banned but most people do. Set it to take breaks.
If you don't like macroing on your main, do it for 1-2 hours then break and do a fun thing like a quest, and repeat.

this, but a good amount is 3-5 hours a day honestly.

When I auto on my main I usually will bot 2-5 hrs (no more than 5 in a day) and usually only do it 3-4 times / week.
I ONLY auto when I am at my computer doing homework, I actively talk and respond to most questions and people talking, I hold little conversations also…This honestly is what I believe has kept me from getting banned/report/flagged.
I have gotten 3 99s and working towards another 3-4.
I got:
99 cooking
99 fletching
99 woodcutting
87 magic
84 fishing
66 firemaking (just started working towards this)

^ this I agree with. I feel that the best way to 'safe' bot is when you are there and can respond to the non-automatonous actions. Although when I do bot I usually run 24/7 with multiple players and I even have my computer perform general maintenance while I am way; updates, restarting, and the like.

you have your computer restart, and you have it so the script will start again? nice

Yep =]. Quick batch file to open a script that gets me on the internet and selects the script to use. Continues from there.

I never got banned for autoing around 8 hours day. But as soon as I went to 9 or 10, I got flagged (and quite a few chainbans). That's on one account 1.
This also confirms smartzkid findings, as 24/7x4 = 6 hours a day, with one account stuck in a random that also keeps you at 8.

8 hours w/ breaks is my choice of poison.
