There is no limit to time you can be outside the US on an H-1b, assuming you return prior to the visa expiration date.

However long you need as long as your job will be waiting for you and you plan to return to the US while the visa is still valid.

As long as your employer approved the leave, I don't believe there's a restriction on how long you can be absent from the U.S.
