At $6,705 of $46,000 total credit limit, 14.576% actual, 15% for FICO : EX8 751 At $6,660 of $46,000 total credit limit, 14.478% actual, 14% for FICO : EX8 756 +5 points (Note that this is yet another data point against the ' Under x.99% ' hypothesis. FICO is using standard rounding for utilization, not a ceiling.) 3 of 4 reporting a balance, and no change in individual utilization percent on any card . [ Edit: Discover card change from 8% to 7%.] I'm always very mindful of the dollar amount when looking at score gains from utilization percent changes. This gain is clearly all about the percentage! This may or may not be the case for other scorecards with a longer credit history, but I think it's safe to say that under 5 years total credit file age, this threshold is going to be there. AAoA: 3yr 2mo AoOA: 4yr 5mo AoORA: 3yr 5mo AoYA: 2yr 3mo No Inquiries anywhere, including under 2 years.

I guess my point is that since it's the first threshold point by definition it's going to be reached more often than 10%, so it's just surprising to me that there aren't far more DPs surrounding 5% from others over the years. I'd say that ~10% is talked about at probably a 100:1 ratio to 5%, at least from my readings over the years.

I totally agree, but it only exists at experian and it’s only like three points, so people don’t realize or isolate it, I guess. 10% is much more noticeable.

Oh, I didn't realize that. So no 5% threshold has ever been reported on a TU/EQ score that we know of? That would make more sense as to why it hasn't been discussed more.
