But if you are working on projects then everything is about delivery so I have been still at work after 11pm near a delivery deadline, but that is very very rare.

In 20 years of contracting I've only ever done hourly paid.
Day rate just means they want you for 10-14 hours a day, I've never heard of day raters doing lots of 5 hour days.

I don't have to look that busy. Usually I do about 2-3 hours work in my 8 hour shift. Still four times faster than the others on the team. And about twice as cost-effective as offshoring.

It's time to let the AndyW option go now.

It's tired.

A couple of years ago I was working for an IB and got dragged on the 26th of December, I had been out for a meal and had probably drunk 2 bottles of wine and a few beers, they phoned me at 12 just before I was going to go to bed. I had to head down and fix an issue with some Hong Kong deal valuation. I was rubbered, sitting in an empty office trying to hold it together as traders were screaming at me on the phone.
flip being a hero, never answered a call from them again.

Depends on the rate and the client. 2 at current client, has been up to 4 or 5 before. Out of 7.5
Oh you said how many do they expect me to work. Sorry Ive answered how many I do actual work in. In answer to the original question, I don't care, they get what they're given.
