By oversight I just went 30 days over on cc account. Anyone know what that does to your score? Hasn’t happened in 4-5 years

As in you missed entirely or failed to make at least the mininum payment on the account 2 months in a row? Expect to see your FICO 8 score drop somewhere around 80-100 points.
The answer to that question (assuming it's reported) is very complex and depends on your current credit profile. Might do very little damage to someone with a thick file who already has lots of recent lates, while someone who has a thin file but scores in the 800s might see them plunge a LOT. Has it been 30 days since the original due date, meaning that yet another due date has now come and gone? Has the account been brought current?
Yes. I didn’t pay March, meaning to pick it up until n April. Then missed April by mistake. Hasn’t happened in 4 or so. Years. Long credit history. Fico 8 is at 683.

Sorry. Didn’t quote. Yes. I missed March. Meant to catch up before April due date. Missed it. Oversight, brought current today. My Fico 8 is 683. Last missed pYment 4-5 years ago in a 37 year history

I don't know, no one knows. If you're lucky it might not even get reported. What's the point of worrying about it? You've made the payment. There's nothing more you can do about it.
In the future you might want to set up autopay for the minimum amount so that you can never be late again.
What creditor did you miss a payment with?

Great points by SouthJ all.
I will observe that autopay for minimum wouldn't have helped our OP, if I understood him right. Autopay is a great strategy to avoid missing a payment by accident (a risk for most of us who have several open cards). In our OP's case, however, he wanted to miss a required payment -- he consciously decided to do that. Even with autopay he could have turned it off for a month or two -- if somebody really wants to skip a payment, they are gonna do it.
