Does it maybe try every key and decide there are too many that don't work when I go over a certain number?

That's exactly what it does, unless you explicitly specify which key to use. This can be done from command line or in ~/.ssh/config (with hostname/IP match)

https://thomascannon.me/posts/fix-ssh-keys/ expands on this a bit. The IdentitiesOnly option is useful in addition to IdentityFile in the ssh config file.

I happened across that link while reading up on the recent ssh client-side roaming bugs (CVE-2016-0777 and CVE-2016-0778).
