Advantages of taking more AP classes?

My school had a class which wasn’t AP European History, but covered part of the material. Those who wanted to take the AP European History self studied what wasn’t covered, and took the test.

Realistically, how many humanities APs do colleges which have students who typically take several APs give credit for? And if they give credit, is it anything other than departmental credit?

Perhaps offering APs would allow some more distinction between the rigor of different classes, but beyond that, they’re not going to be especially useful.

Anyway, for data, this might help: Higher Education Professionals | College Board;
