How much did the Holy Prophetﷺ recite the Quran on a daily basis?

How much did the Holy Prophetﷺ recite the Quran on a daily basis?

What was the personal practice of the Holy Prophet (S.A) regarding the recitation of the Holy Quran? How much did he recite daily?

الجوابُ حامِدا ًو مُصلیِّا ً

Because the Holy Quran was being revealed during the life time of the Holy Prophet (S.A), it was not in the form that it is currently in in our current times. Hence, there we do not know of any clear narration regarding the recitation of the Holy Prophet (S.A). However, there is a narration from Aisha (R.A) that states that the Holy Prophet did not complete the recitation of the Quran in less than three days.
And Allah knows best.
