Complete inference on my part, but I'm guessing the eight months since the start of this thread. According to
Haley Hintze's update on PokerTube in March (at the time of the plea), he was extradited to the U.S. on January 17, arraigned that day, then released on a $1 million bond. The house arrest would have begun then, and I don't see any reason why there would have been a stoppage.
There's a funny little mention in Hintze's story that his house arrest is "effectively little more severe than the shelter-in-place order currently affecting millions of New York City residents." So yeah, for at least some of the last eight months, his situation was that of someone not on house arrest. (At least, that's the glass-half-full version of it.)
