As much as you like, use to your hearts content, it is unlimited with no data caps. Just be aware that using excessive amounts of data, such as 1TB, may get flagged at Verizon, not Visible, and may get you an email or text to stop or your account will be terminated. Just something I read on Visible reddit page from a 3 year old post of data abuse.
Edit: also to add, if your intentions are to use it for home internet replacement let it be known that does go against Visible's terms and conditions.

I only have it for internet on RV trips of 2-4 weeks. I thought I read somewhere that they throttle you way down after 50GB.

You are referring to the premium data allotment on the plus plan. Visible doesn't throttle speeds after a certain amount used. The plus plan has a 50GB allotment of premium data when using 4G LTE or 5G, 5GUW is completely unlimited and doesn't count towards this allotment, you are then deprioritized and speeds will vary depending on how much traffic/congestion is on the towers in the area you are in. Speeds could be anywhere from <1Mbps up to 400Mbps, again it depends on how congested the tower(s) are. The base plan is 100% deprioritized with no 50GB allotment.
The base plan has a 5Mbps speeds cap while the plus plan gets 10Mbps on hotspot. As long as the phone still gets speeds over 10Mbps after you use your 50GB allotment the hotspot will get that on the plus plan no matter how much data you use.
