Near gas has an approximate relation to compute time, where 1sec corresponds to 1PGas or 10^15 Gas. [1]

1PTgas is also what is allowed per shard per block. This is configured as gas_limit and it can be looked up through an API call [2] or you can peak at the source on Github [3]

With current progress, having successfully launched Simple Nightshade, there are 4 shards [4]. That gives you 4Pgas / block. But it can scale up as more shards are added.
