Rules for Counting 6 Years of H-1B

Question details

I got H-1B approval in August 2013 valid from Oct 2013 to Sept 2016. After this, I traveled to the US in August 2014 on H-1B & I am here till now. My question is, till what time I can stay in the USA. I know for H-1B we get 6 years. But will this count my earlier stay on L-1B? For more than 2 years, I didn't enter to the US.

Will it be until August 2020 or ( August 2020 minus the L1B stay ) ?
