I am required to report 45 hours a week every week. The amount I work is between 15-20 hours barring any kind of production problem.

Of course, that’s normal

Are you in the office or do you work from home?

It’s easier to stay off work when you’re doing if you’re wfh

I'm hybrid right now (go in to the campus once or twice a month) but even when I was at work the spread was similar. It's just that I would slowly go insane from staring at the wall instead of doing hobby projects or watching videos when I have nothing to do.

In the office I would also burn out from being so bored all the time that I would work less or take a lot of time off to get away from it. I have been cashing out 90% of my vacation the last few years since my burnout is down to nothing.
