First Remote Internship – Confused About Work Hours & Expectations (Need Honest Guidance)

This is my first remote internship and honestly I’m confused about how things actually work. I have a few genuine doubts: In a remote internship, is it mandatory to work only during office hours, or can tasks be done flexibly? If I have college during the day, will that be a problem? How is work usually assigned daily tasks, weekly deadlines, or fixed hours tracking? Do companies expect you to be online all the time, or only when tasks are assigned / meetings are scheduled? What are the red flags I should watch out for in remote internships? I don’t want sugar-coated answers. I want to know how remote internships actually work in reality, not the ideal version. If you’ve done a remote internship before, please share practical, honest experience especially about time flexibility and workload. Thanks.
