Does "High balance" on CR affect Credit?

Ok, I have a CapOne card with $300 limit (I know, I am new to credit,) anyways my balance is currently $120 ish. Now I know that's bad for my credit but what if I pay the entire balance off right now, before they report it to the CRA? I know they still put the highest balance I have ever charged on the card in the "HIgh Balance" section of my CR, but will it affect my credit score?

Nope...no impact at all for as long as the CL reports.
