When cutting, and your goal is say to have only 30-50g carb a day, does it count if a person eats like 125g carb but does 300 cals worth of cardio? Thanks

Carb cycling is more preferential, it wont speed things up any more than a standard deficit; may yield more water weight fluctuations which makes tracking weight harder. Count total IMO, but in the end as long as you are consistent with either method it wont make much difference unless trying to keto.
Short cuts to success are often paved with lies.

I tried that but it didn't go very well
thank you all for your responses, I've tried being consistent and hitting 30-50g if carb a day, but after like 3-4 days, I start to feel like absolute garbage, and I don't want my body getting used to functioning on that low of carb. So I think I have to do a refeed every 3-4 days.

Plenty of people contest dieted to extremely low bodyfat % without fiddling around with carbs of "carb cycling". OTOH becoming keto adapted is a worthwhile thing IMO - but that requires about 2-3 weeks of very low carb intake - you have to push through the times when you feel bad. After that you can reintroduce them - going by feel as to what gives your best feelings of energy / alertness.
