Yes, to maximise your vit D gain , it is advisable to get adequate sunlight in a small time-window during the morning hours 7-9 am. For a better and complete understanding, can review with your doctor.

The best time to get the maximum vitamin D is between 10 am to 3 pm. At this time, the UVB rays are intense and it is also said that the body is more efficient in making vitamin D at this time.
This time is also considered safer for getting exposed to the sun as it is said that getting the sun during the later part of the days also increases the risk of certain types of cancer.

Different people have different opinions. But between 8am-10am. It’s more tolerable. Daily 10-15 minutes is good.
