Will small balances and pay offs suffice?
What's the shortest time a card can be closed due to inactivity?
Your biggest risk may be if you transferred those debts onto one or two limits and are running high utilization. That may spook other lenders, especially if you don't show the balances decreasing fairly quickly.
Definitely continue to use the other cards and pay them off, which may reassure those lenders that you're on top of your debt.
The shortest time? There isn't such a thing. Lenders can close a card at any time. On average, I think the most conservative guidance is to use a card at least every 3-6 months to avoid closure for non-use. Some of our members put at least one charge on every account every month, and that's probably the safest way to approach minimum usage concerns.
