I have a hefty number of questions, some very popular and others growing. Do I ever need to fear a question ban on this particular site?

1$\begingroup$ Maybe, if you posted a string of 30 poor questions averaging -5 in downvotes. I think it has something to do with the quality of one questions in the most recent n weeks or months, but that's a guess, and I have no clue as to what $n$ might be. I say this, because a person can have had $99.5$ percent of their flags deemed "helpful", but over a 7 day period, if declines on one's flages overwhelm those deemed helpful, one may be banned from flagging for a period of time. $\endgroup$– amWhyMar 18, 2020 at 17:54

$\begingroup$ @amWhy Thanks just asking cause I know there are question bans I am almost at 100 if not at 100 questions. So I am just wondering about that. $\endgroup$– Jose M SerraMar 18, 2020 at 17:59

$\begingroup$ Bottom line, the key here is consistency. Over the course of a week, One poor post with two downvotes and that others delete, plus 7 upvoted questions, is not a problem. It's when one reveals a pattern of posting low quality posts that one is in trouble. But indeed, higher rep users have more of a "pattern" established than do newer users. $\endgroup$– amWhyMar 18, 2020 at 17:59

$\begingroup$ You can somewhat self-evaluate your quality-ban statistic: data.stackexchange.com/math/query/885476/… if you know your deleted questions. Based on what is visible you're way above the Q-ban so unless you now start posting utterly bad questions that all get downvoted into oblivion I doubt you can manage to get into a Q-ban. I also believe reputation is factored in (as in above a certain rep you can't get Q-banned) but that is only hearsay and I don't know the exact cut-off. $\endgroup$– reneMar 20, 2020 at 13:24

There are two things to keep apart:
There are automatic questions bans that are based on the quality, or rather the reception, of the questions. If all, or at least most, of your questions are well-received you will not run into this. Here, well-received mostly means not negatively received. It's not necessary to have a great score. Not having a negative score and not getting closed and deleted suffices.
There are rate limits for most every action on the site. Even if you asked the best questions there were you cannot ask hundred of them in a day. The limit is is six a day and fifty over thirty days. Users with few point also cannot ask questions in rapid successions.
For more details see The Complete Rate-Limiting Guide

3$\begingroup$ Thanks for this. Especially pointing out that "rate limits" are different than being banned from asking questions. $\endgroup$– amWhyMar 18, 2020 at 18:34
