How many times can you (should you) patch an inner tube before you should just toss it?

i have a buddy that has 47 patches on his MTB tube.
personally on my race wheels i only run new tubes and save the patches for backup wheels and even then i dont usually patch more than 2 times.

I used to patch my mountain bike tubes maybe five times. I don’t patch my road tubes. I just keep a bunch of spares around.
