I’m sure it varies by firm, but I think at most places partner hours don’t matter and it’s all about the $$ they generate. At my firm, rumor is anything above 1000 in a year is fine (not including semi-retired people who bill like, maybe 5 hrs/ month).

Not sure I understand your question. But being a partner is geometrically more difficult than being an associate. Most successful biglaw partners work 3000+ hours per year minimum. What specifically do you want to know.

Not that bad. I billed maybe 20 hours after that blast of work and finished the year around 2200. The key is taking time away. I take at least 1 and usually 2 multi week vacations a year during which I totally check out. No contact at all. That’s the key.
My firm expects 1900+ billable for associates and 1400+ for partners on the expectation that the partners are spending all that extra time bringing in new business etc
300+ lawyer firm had an 1800 billable/600 non-billable minimum expectation for partners.
My old firm had a higher hours requirement for partners (I think about 2100) but they allowed more business development hours to count towards it.
For us when at partner level hours don’t really matter. Cash in matters
