The quick and easy answer is: 10yrs.
10yrs in prison for Insurrection.
20yrs in prison for Sedition.
From this link to a January 2021 piece in, of all places, The Saturday Evening Post.

Now, coincidentally, there were lotsa newsfeeds this afternoon from the Washington Post, and The Hill, and the New York Times and plenty of others.
Such as:
The indictments unsealed Thursday mark the first time anyone has faced charges of seditious conspiracy for the Jan. 6 attacks, though prosecutors have long signaled they were considering using that rarely applied section of federal law."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Henceforth, the forum should now begin to describe the attackers of the Capitol on January 6th as......."seditionists", rather than "insurrectionists".
Unless, of course, the DOJ decides to charge some now with "insurrection" also.
At which time, this forum can then describe the attackers of the Capitol on January 6th as.........."seditious insurrectionists".
I think.

Such as:
"Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes charged with seditious conspiracy in Jan. 6 Capitol riot"
"A federal grand jury in the District leveled the new charges focusing on what prosecutors say is a core group of Oath Keepers adherents who allegedly planned for and participated in obstructing Congress on the day lawmakers certified President Biden’s 2020 election victory.The indictments unsealed Thursday mark the first time anyone has faced charges of seditious conspiracy for the Jan. 6 attacks, though prosecutors have long signaled they were considering using that rarely applied section of federal law."
