Keeping utilization below 30% is widely recommended, and under 10% is even better for your credit score.

Pay down balances, pay before the statement date, spread spending across cards, or ask for a higher limit while keeping spending the same.

Both can matter. Lenders look at the overall ratio across all cards and sometimes at individual cards, so keep each one in check.
