I use the early morning sun for my nepenthes but I want to know how many hours I have to let them hang out in the early morning sun so that my nepenthes cannot be overheated.

Most Nepenthes do not like direct sunlight, so an hour of direct sunlight just as the sun comes up is sufficient.

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that I make bad decisions.

for my seedlings, I keep them in the same environment that they will grow in. In my case, that is in a grow tent, under grow lights (although not directly under them). The lights are on from sunrise to sunset +1 hour, so that when I do move them outside to "hang" with my other Nepenthes, they are not shocked with different # of illuminated hours.

I keep mine bagged, in the same place as my other neps. Probably 14 hours indirect sun with good germ/growth. I know some growers who get good germ with complete darkness.
