How many keywords is too many?

Hi!
So I have two interconnected question. One is about the length of the content. Everyone involved in content writing has certainly encountered different requirements regarding the number of words in a text. "Add something to this article because it is too short" - sounds familiar? One of the most different topics for positioners is the appropriate number of words in the article. On the one hand, you hear that 300-500 words are desirable, because a lot of content discourages the reader, and on the other hand, that the pages that appear in search results in TOP 10 have 1500, 2500 and more words. For me that is way too long! People nowadays don't want to read. They want to have the gist served in a short form. So I would say 500 words is optimal.
And here we move on to my second question: keywords. How many should I add to a content 500 words long? How many keywords is too many?
