How many hours of nighttime sleep is ideal for my 7-month-old?

The ideal nighttime sleep duration for a 7-month-old is generally considered to be 9-12 hours. Of course, at this age this includes 1-2 typical nighttime feedings or brief wakings—your baby won't sleep a solid 12 hours straight. Total 24-hour sleep need (including daytime naps) is around 12-15 hours.
Every baby is different; some do well on 9 hours while others need 12. What matters most is that your baby is pleasant and content during awake times, can tolerate awake windows (roughly 2-2.5 hours) without getting overtired, and is growing steadily. If they're waking frequently and fussy during the day, the issue usually isn't total sleep amount but rather sleep routine consistency. Watch their cues rather than clock-watching.
