Thanks. I couldn’t even find that. All I found was stuff that was clearly out-of-date.
How many states and which ones?..........
Good question as the data isn’t readily available it seems. However what I’ve found is that at some point there were 32 states approving a call for a con-con on the balanced budget amendment. But 8 have reversed their call....

Over the years, states have petitioned Congress to call a convention for various specified purposes. As recently as 1983, the country came close to holding the second constitutional convention in its history when Missouri became the 32nd state (34 were needed) petitioning Congress to call a convention for the stated purpose of drafting an amendment to balance the federal budget. Since that time, however, eight of the 32 states have withdrawn their applications for a “balanced budget” convention.

I guess one key is that if a con-con was called there still remains a need for 38 [75%] of the states to ratify any actions they take towards amending the existing constitution.
