You could always plug in your numbers and take a look:

I'd say that if you still have a lot of strength to gain, then you can afford to keep cutting until it starts interfering with your workouts.
That being said, I find it easier psychologically to stick with a long term plan when I'm not cutting too much or too long.
That site says I am stronger than 10-20% people (depending on lift) of my weight. I still don’t know how to interpret it.
I also feel more motivated and focused during maintenance. Maybe it is a sign that I need to be at maintenance? I don’t know. I am so confused
It means you have a lot more strength to gain. I think you can afford to just maintain while getting stronger, maybe for a few months, and then when you start cutting again it'll be easier.
