    As many times as you can accomplish them? I don't get your question.

    Highlights pro tags are acquired everytime you perform said "highlight". It's a way to keep track of your "best moments", if you wish. It doesn't really matter how many you have though. As long as you have 1 you can use it.

    You can earn ProTags associated with Highlights once per game.

    You can earn ProTags associated with Career Milestones only once.

    You can earn ProTags associated with Honors only once.

    I think he meant:

    "How high can the counter under the highlight protags go?"

    This would be my guess. If not; I would like to know how high the counter can go. Does it stop at 99, 255, etc.?

    I'm 99% sure it stops at the max of what variable they used to hold how many times the ProTag/Highlight was earned.

    Most likely values:
    Short(signed) 32767
    Short(unsigned) 65535
    Int(signed) 2147483647
    Int(unsigned) 4294967295

    I am highly doubtful they used a char, because that would be silly, and anything bigger than Int for storing rare occurrences is a waste of memory.

    I am also unsure of whether they have enough spaces available in the corner of the ProTag/Highlight to display every digit. Meaning it might hold a max of an Int but it only displays 5 of the digits.

    I'm guessing they used an unsigned 32-bit integer.

    It's the max 2 (short) or 4 (int) bytes can hold. Basic programming knowledge really.
