Reasonable access for Ex and 14month old??

My son is 14 months old. His dad has never really had him in his own and said he prefers it when I’m there even though we aren’t together. He’s extremely manipulative and emotionally abusive towards me so we can’t have contact anymore. We had a plan of 4x a week for 2 hours and that was as okay but he could never stick to it and kept letting it down so I figured 3x a week for 2 hours (supervised for various reasons) would be more realistic. He threatens me with court and I told him he’d be shooting himself in the foot because he would potentially get less time and if he didn’t stick to it he’d have repercussions. I have a huge list of all the times he has let my son down and not stuck with it. So my question is…

What do you think is reasonable contact for the two of them? How many days a week and for how long? Baring in mind my son goes to bed at 7 and sometimes my ex won’t finish work till 4/5 ! (We cant do any overnights atm as son is still BF)

Just to add, I offered the 3 days for two hours and he said no BUT I’m not sure why. If he says no what do I do? Can I just say it’s that or nothing? He’s unreasonable and an awful person to co parent with
