Quitting After One Year?
Is it acceptable to quit a job after over one year (13 months)? Or is there a longer amount of time you're expected to stay?

you can quit whenever you like. you also have to deal with the consequences - have you lined up another job?
Fine as long as you don't leave your next role for at least 2 years. Hopping around too much early on in your career is a bad sign.
Do it. there is not issue unless you quit without a job offer.
Don't be a serial job hopper and you'll be fine. If your next job is bad and not working out within the first 6 months, feel free to start looking for a job right away. Life's too short and you might as well develop your career somewhere instead of "putting in the time." Just have a good reason to explain it.
Is it your first job? If so, I would be more hesitant, unless you are leaving for a great job you already have accepted (then you better stay at that one 2 years +).
If it is a job further down your career, then it can matter less, so long as you don't look like a serial job hopper. Like if you stayed 4 years at first job, then 13 months at 2nd, not all that crazy. But if first job, there could be more questions about your overall ability especially if you have a gap between roles (many will just assume you got fired).
Final random point, it is COVID season, things are dicey for many, soooo you probably face less blowback for a short stint this year. This was the case in 08/09 where tons of people got laid off in real estate and finance, jumping that year was the norm (whether by your choice or your employers choice).
