Or does the amount merely allow for the consumer to show that they can be responsible with making regular payments (with this account being the only debt owed.)


Can a credit card company raise your APR because you have too much outstanding debt?

They are probably raising it because your credit score is lower due the outstanding debt.

Usually when your credit card's rates go up, you have an option of accepting the rate or closing the account and keeping the lower rate on the balance previously accumalated.
