I had two sessions of five back-to-back, one hour zoom interviews, plus another two, one hour interviews either side of that. I didn’t get the job. I met a total of eleven people 😭
For me it's not the number of people, it's the length of the process. I've had interviews at agencies where I met half the office, but it was ok because it was scheduled efficiently. I can't stand it when employers do it one drip at a time and force me to come in 3 times to meet "just one more person."
OP, your situation sounds to me like they don't have hire approval, so they're stalling. Have you asked them if there's an approved and funded req for a FTE? Or they just can't make a decision. Either way, you've invested enough time and I think you're in bounds to tell them you can't invest more.
Strongly agreed, especially when your still working and have to figure out how to be somewhere else on multiple occasions

Yowza. I think 2-3 interviews tops! But I’m hearing more and more what you described happening. What’s up with that? . People afraid to make a decision so death by committee? That’s crazy.
been there, op. i had one interview process last ~3 months with in-person or phone interviews with 12 people on the team. i learned after i started that my lengthy process was primarily caused by determining which open role i was going to fill. it was incredibly frustrating because each time i received an hr call or email i thought this is the one with the offer.
I interviewed at RGA pre-pandemic. Met with 18 ppl. 3 office visits. And then they still wanted me to come back and keep meeting even more ppl and then also do a case study presentation that was "hypothetical" (but just so happened to be for their main client). Honestly it was a terrible experience. Maybe one of the worst of my entire career. And then they imploded shortly thereafter so I guess it was a blessing in disguise.
So my take: any place that can't get their shit together for the interviewing process is going to be a nightmare to work at. When ppl show you who they are, believe them.
C level role?
I had 9 interviews plus 2 very long phone calls with the recruiter.
Depends on the role

I once had three 30-minute phoners, flew to LA, did five straight hours of in-person, did another phoner, and then didn’t get the job.
I think if I really wanted the job, the only threshold would be when they say yes or no.
