What is an acceptable level of technical debt?

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.
