This is called credit utilization percentage and it’s one of the largest factors when it comes to maintaining and improving your credit score. For example, if you have a $1000 credit card and you charge 400 on that $1000 credit card, your credit card utilization rate is 40%. This is considered really high and will hurt your credit.  The best thing to do is not overuse your credit. Also, do not close cards that you aren’t using any longer. Keeping them open gives you a higher availability of credit, meaning lower utilization rate.
