Aren’t there rules limiting consecutive hours on duty by pilots? How do they get around this for these long flights?

Military flights and multiple pilots.

There are duty regs, for a two man cockpit they schedule 2 for up to 8 hours scheduled flight time, 3 for 8 to 12 hours scheduled flight time and 4 for over 12 hour scheduled.

Multiple crews swap in-flight.
