If you mean the rate - some of the larger supermassive black holes engulf matter at the rate of over a thousand solar masses a year. However, they don't do this all the time; it seems that such a rate cannot be sustained in the long term.

Where does the stuff a black hole suck in go?

Does a black hole suck in stuff?

Just like any object, a black hole will attract objects in its surrondings. The Sun can "suck in" a comet that ventures too close, for example, but the Sun is not a black hole. The Earth can "suck in" a meteor that comes close to the Earth.The distinctive feature of a black hole is that nothing gets out again - except indirectly, through the Hawking radiation, and that is very, very slow.Just like any object, a black hole will attract objects in its surrondings.
