So some number from 3 to 11 apparently.

120hz vs 60hz is twice the bandwidth, so more like 3-6. Though iirc (and that’s a big if since I’m not going to look it up right now), there’s a touch of overhead and maybe some reserved bandwidth in the full DP signal, so I’d bet more towards 3. More with compression, but it’s not magic.

It can be much lower and much higher - depends on how much color information you’re sending, and what the refresh rate is.
The DisplayPort spec (which alt mode runs across usbc) covers the streams:
