It depends on the experiment. Normally only one is tested at a time because they can affect the experiment. Variables are tested in a controlled experiment to see whether they affect the outcome and also how.
It depends on the factors which affect the result of the particular experiment. Time and temperature are among the most commonly used variables used in many experiments.
In a properly designed experiment, it is important to have at least 2 controlled variables. With two variables you are able to remove one at a time and see the effect in your setup.

Just one at a time
They shouldn't, ever. It defies the whole point of a controlled experiment.
In a properly designed experiment, it is important to have at least 2 controlled variables. With two variables you are able to remove one at a time and see the effect in your setup.
You only change one variable; if you changed multiple variables you wouldn't know which one caused a change.

It can have as many as it needs. You can even change different variables at the same time and study their individual influence with proper statistical tools in many type of experiments.
You can only change ONE at a time. That's what makes it controlled. It's the only sure way to know what actually changed the experiment.
Generally speaking, you only want to test a single variable within one experiment so when a change occurs you know what caused it. If you change multiple variables at once it is harder to attribute the change to a single cause.
