How many hard pulls are you comfortable with?

I know this may be subjective and there is no magic answer, but I'm curious how many hard pulls you are comfortable with before you pause the AoR hobby.

I've got the trifecta of having refi'd my house, 2 new car leases, and cc companies that only pull from Experian in my area. Because of this, I have 20 hard inquiries on my file. My credit history is spotless and my FICOs are about 750, but I'm wondering if I should sit tight for a bit (it's been 4 months since my last cycle).

I read about so many people having 50, 100, 200 credit cards over the last few years, it seems like they'd have to have more than 20 hard pulls and are still successful.

What do you all think?

Thanks in advance for your wisdom/advice.
