The assumption is that they look at current balance for a CLI.

I'm not sure I understand your question. Have you reviewed the 3x CLI Sticky?

What I meant for utilization purposes do they look at current or statement balances. I will re read the CLI thread

For your Amex, they will look at your current balance but they will also look at your overall util based on the latest sp.

I am going to play it safe and wait to pay off all my current balances on all my cards so amex doesn't have that reason to deny me.
