The acceptable level of technical debt can vary depending on the organization and project but it is generally considered to be the amount that can be managed and controlled within the budget and resources of the company. It is also considered acceptable when it's incurred with a clear plan, understanding the trade-offs, and the costs involved and when it aligns with the organization's goals and objectives.

Completely getting rid of technical debt may not be possible as new software systems and features will always be added over time and the codebase will continue to evolve and become more complex. Additionally, some degree of technical debt is often unavoidable as it can be a necessary trade-off to meet immediate business needs or to deliver new features quickly.
Technical debt is a term used to describe the cost of maintaining and updating existing software systems, often as a result of poor design or short-term decision making. The term is used to describe the trade-off between taking short-term action to meet immediate needs and taking long-term action to minimize the total cost of ownership.
