How often can one open credit cards without affecting your credit score?

I have been using rewards cards and paying off the balance for years. I have read that applying for new credit card wont affect your record if you only get one, and don’t open too many in a short period of time. Not sure what “short period of time” is . There are 3 rewards cards I have been meaning to get because of bonus/rewards, but not sure how I should space them out.

The applications at least months might be better while each application will cause hard credit too many within short period will cause hard credit pull which will take big bite out the applications at least months might be better.

The third about three months prior to 20 point range if you arent familiar with 7500 available as might be careful about annual fees unless they are plenty well justified as might be the case with number.
For new cards at once this temporary drop in overall utilization 2000 debt it is small temporary hit will reflect much.
