that worked thanks, how many does it create at a time then?
By default, 100. You can change it by putting keypool=.
so is it another 100 now ?
Yes. Bitcoin Core tries to maintain 100 addresses all the time and it will do so whenever you do anything with the wallet provided that it is unlocked.

Just writing some code
When was the last time you unlocked your wallet? If you have requested more addresses than there are in the keypool since you last unlocked the wallet, it will not be able to refill the keypool with new addresses. By default the keypool contains 100 addresses.
