Over 15.000 (30.000 / 50.000-ish). I don't follow the bite-sized standard of this website, I drop major chapters because I enjoy that better for my own novel or any story really. As such I have to split my chapters to make them fit, but that's ok.
I do 400-600 lol (occasionally up to 1000 if there's a lot of dialogue lines to break the paragraphs, and those haven't published yet so I may still break it up). So, my chapters are like 4-6 episodes each. I just find that it's nice to simulate the turning of a page, and while it's the same amount of words per novel in the end, there's something really fun about turning pages. That and it relieves that eye-strain you can get on a computer to just...refresh the page.
But I just started publishing mine a few weeks ago so I do not know if it's working yet, it's just how I felt like it and what I observed reading other novels on this site.
Over 15.000 (30.000 / 50.000-ish).
Now tat's big! 
From what other people have been saying I think I'll keep mine a bit shorter (1500 max).
Normally about 10k characters, not sure about words though. It is rare but I do find myself sometimes exceeding the word count on Tapas.
You can check for yourself if you are interested.
Around the 2.5K, mostly to keep with the 15K character limit on the website, but I've had oneshots almost 3 times as long
Typically I stick to the limit rather than splitting long episode to not struggle with finding the right cutting off point and having parts that feel too short
I wrote my novel off Tapas and find that my scenes organically end up somewhere in the 2k to 4k range. This is pretty large for Tapas, so I try to split them at natural points, which usually means episodes in the 900-1.2k range. My shortest are around 700, my longest are 1.6k. I aim for 1k chunks, but it isn't always possible.
For reference: I'm writing LGBT+ Fantasy for adults. Even though adult readers are used to much longer chapters, shorter episodes work better given the mobile formatting on app, so I stick with Tapas convention instead of genre convention. The bonus of shorter episodes is that you get more episodes out of a single story ... which translates to more views, more visibility, and potentially more $.
If you're interested in taking a gander to see how I organized my story (still ongoing, posting daily), here's the link:
I try not to go below 1000. After that, I just pick a good cliffhanger-y or suspenseful moment to end on to keep my readers interested. ^^ So far, I think I'm averaging around 1200.
Very much depend. One chapter have it around 2600 words (almost 14000 characters) and the others were a lot lower.
I usually clock in at around 900 words myself, give or take a few depending on the episode itself, but the average seems to be just under 1000 each time.
Tapas recommends 500 to 1500 so I try to stay within that range.
Yes, that means I have to split chapters and they don't always have a neat spot to cut off on. My scenes usually run for at least 1500 words. For some of them, I had to write an intro/outro sentence so it would make sense. In other cases, I was like screw it, you want it short, here's short. Figure it out. Essenitally, if someone is binging, it doesn't matter anyway.
I'm toying with an idea of writing a webnovel - one specifically designed for this format - each episode is a fully fledged story like in a sitcom. It's going to be a challenge to write a book in a series of flashfictions, but on the other hand, I do like writing flashfiction so this could be pretty cool.
I typically aim for around 1000 words per episode. This is because I used to read a lot of fanfiction and I learned to determine which links to not even click on from that. Anything that averages less than 1000 words per chapter I take as a sign of lazy writing.
That being said, my chapters tend to be around 3000-4000 words long; I've never actually calculated an average. I just split them into ~1000-word chunks for episodes because of Tapas' whole "bite-sized" deal. My shortest episode is 605 words and my longest is 1.7k.
Oh that's fine! I simply am not writing this book to follow the standards set on this website, I intend to publish it so I follow my own path haha. 
I aim for 1,500 but they can be anywhere between 1,200 and 2,200 words. My chapters are originally longer when I first write them but I split them to publish online. I usually try and cut the chapters at a point that works best for the narrative.
I should mention that the first drafts for both of the stories I'm publishing were complete before I started posting.
Mine is currently at 2000-2200 words per Chapter, I update 2-3 Chapters a week. I used to struggle writing this much words in a week but I set my mind on it and now I don't get much problem. I still do sometimes honestly but it's a lot easier compared to when I decided to do this to myself.
Currently at around 1K words, I try to increase the words in the chapters slowly but it will take time.
I update multiple times a week (used to be daily but things came up so this is a better description) and for 200 episodes I did 400-500 but not i'm doing 700-1000.
