The short version
Each nighttime period is divided into eight time units.
Published evidence
Night is a separate eight-unit planning window with Coen’s vampire form and access to form-specific abilities or areas. Time advances through chosen actions rather than continuous free roaming.
Player takeaway
Plan night-only objectives around visible costs and remember that arriving at night does not itself imply a ticking real-time timer.
Known limit
Exact costs for every night quest have not been published.
Planning rule
Apply the how many time units are in a night? answer together with three checks: which form Coen currently has, how many hourglass units the next action shows, and which other thread would be delayed. Free exploration and charged quest actions are different categories, so route advice should never deduct time merely because a player walked, searched, or opened the map.
