Plubius, do you know how many states have approved this specific Convention of States project by C for SG?

I believe it’s only 1 for the Levin project, but I may be wrong. The balanced budget amendment effort may have 34, but there are confusing issues about rescission and timeliness, so that’s going to be up to the Archivist of the United States and Congress to decide.

There's only 22 active Article V calls right now.

Although it is apparently true that 34 states have applied for a constitutional convention, 12 of those states have rescinded their applications. That means that there are only 22 active applications for a convention.
