How many projects are enough (and when to stop)

Do not fill your resume with ten small, weak projects. It makes you look like a beginner who just dabbles in everything. You only need 2 or 3 high-quality projects. Stop building new things when you can talk for 10 minutes about the challenges of one project.

A real project is not a tutorial you followed on YouTube where you just copied code.

If 10,000 other students have the same "Weather App" or "To-Do List" on their resume, it’s not a project, it's homework.
A real project solves a specific problem. Maybe you built a tool to help your local library track books, or you analyzed a public dataset to find out which neighborhoods in your city have the best parks. If you had to make a decision or fix a bug that wasn't in a tutorial, it’s a real project.
