I don’t necessarily agree with this. I’m interested in hearing you elaborate on it.

Short definition is: you have to much potential liability.
There is no reason to have 5 cards worth 50k unsec. loc when you make $30k / year.
As far as LOC accounts are concerned, it is about how much debt you are exposed to - not just how much you currently have in use. Again, it is relative to income level.
If your AGI is 250k, then its not a large concern to have 5 / 50k because if they were maxed out you should still be able to handle the minimum payments without throwing your DTI to shit.
BTW, these are not exact figures.

Don’t know if its true, but i have been told it could look bad if you have a bunch of CCs because even if they aren’t maxed out they can still be looked at as debt since you can max them out whenever.

it is true, and you’ve heard correctly.
