How often does your 5-6lb dog need to pee?

At 4lbs my 5mo puppy pretty easily sleeps through an 8hr night without needing to pee... we expect him to hopefully reach 5-6lbs full grown. During the day though, his bladder capacity varies wildly - sometimes he goes out every half hour, sometimes he can wait for 2-3 hours if he's napping through some of it. He's still working on potty training though, so I know we take him out more often than necessary, and will until we're pretty confident about him.

I'm just wondering, after he's fully grown, about how often can we expect (hope) to take him out during the day? I know it varies, but what has your experience been?
