Sources familiar with the case tell TMZ ... Taylor allegedly failed multiple drug tests in the last 60 days. As a result, we're told the court ordered that she be limited to 8 hours of parenting time each week -- four with her 2 kids with Tate, and four with her child with Dakota.
The alleged substances involved remain unclear ... however, we're told at least one of them is not commonly available as a prescription med.

Taylor shares 9-year-old Indy and 6-year-old Ocean with Tate ... and 2-year-old Ever with Dakota.
The dialing back of of her parenting time comes months after a judge expanded Taylor's parenting schedule to one weekday and alternating weekends ... all unsupervised. Dakota remained Ever's primary custodial parent.
In June, Tate sought sole legal and physical custody of Indy and Ocean, citing Taylor's involvement in a 2023 confrontation with Dakota. Video obtained by TMZ showed Taylor throwing metal barstools, with police saying one struck Indy.
