Number of bootloader unlocks

Is there a maximum number of times you can unlock and relock the bootloader? I think I read somewhere you can only unlock it once (officially anyway)

I sure hope that isn't the case because I plan on chucking a custom rom on when there's more "custom stock" ROMs, no real point rn cuz no trigger or RGB support lol

Not sure if what I did was overkill or not but I wanted to be extra safe with issues from past phones and this worked for me.
Make sure you're on stock rom both slots and stock recovery. Enter fastboot and type command "fastboot oem asus-lock"

Asus ROG Phone RGB - Apps on Google PlayHe was probably refering to this app 😄
And as for your question you can only unlock once using asus's unlock tool "unofficially"
To my knowledge there exist a unofficial tool too but I dunno anything about it
But I don't see the point of relocking though as unlocking means getting black listed on asus's server so relocking won't do any good imo as they already know/can check device status on their servers
One good thing is that Asus phones retain widevine L1 even after unlocking
