Nobody can answer that question since there are many variables involved in the <secret> algorithms used by Fico scoring.

It depends if the change in utilization was sudden. What percentage of your card limits is XX? If you go to zero, it can continue to cause the score calculations to drop, because too many changes takes a while for the score to stabilize, to get used to the "new normal". Even with the XX amount, part of that 20 may come back slowly as positive payments continue and the score gets adjusted to that balance.

 

What are your scores currently?

 

To get a good view of your scores, you should try to keep the utilization down, not at completely zero, keep the balances fairly stable, keep making on time payments, and your scores will improve over time, but it does take a long time.
