Conspiration is 30 years maximum. Actually committing a terrorist act and being convicted locks you up for good in a supermax prison. So yeah either way you're locked up for a VERY long time :/

People convicted for Jan 6 Capitol attacks are looking at 18 years[1] at least

18 years is by far the longest sentence handed down from Jan 6. Most convictions have resulted in probation. The Federal max sentence is rarely actually handed down. Typically, it’s closer to half the max with even that sentence shortened later on.

Zacarias Moussaoui was sentenced to life for his participation in the conspiracy to commit 9/11, but he wasn’t one of the actual perpetrators.
