Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that black holes have a theoretical maximum mass of about 50 billion solar masses?

Yes. A Wikipedia article on supermassive black holes states that accreting supermassive black holes have a theoretical upper limit of physically around 50 billion solar masses for typical parameters. A separate Wikipedia article on stellar black holes notes that in general relativity a black hole could exist of any mass, which speaks to a different question than the accretion-based limit.
