Coding is usually referring to the writing code part. Learning a new language is more meta, as in usually a new paradigm, shift of mind.
I guess you are referring to a more broad definition, so as any answer .. it depends.
Few hours a week is enough to have a healthy evolution over time, I would say, especially if at work you do only 1 language/1 framework/1 paradigm, you need to get out of that bubble, for your career sake. (I say career as opposite to a job, where you care only about the present). You can do 0 hours or have bursts between jobs or in holidays.
A few juniors (previous to their first dev job) usually spent on average 4-5h daily just to learn, with 12h peaks. Over time the duration decreases, especially if you learn new things at work.
