Ok, looking at the texture of that whipped cream I'd say you're going for a cream that holds soft peaks. This link has good descriptions and visual cues: https://www.deliciousmagazine.co.uk/how-to-whip-cream-and-identify-the-peak-stage/
It should only take a couple minutes to get to soft peaks with an electric mixer, but I never time myself so rely on visual cues over time.

Yeah that’s true. And it not exactly a written out recipe. It’s from YouTube(cooking tree) the no bake layer cheesecake. I could only provide the images and link to video. https://youtu.be/tD0mvdYRglM... She used both regular whipping cream @5:04 and whipped cream (whipped to 50%) @5:45. The whipped cream (whipped to 50%) seems much thicker so it is probably whipped to 50% to the volume but do you how long I would have to whip it for and what speed.

If you could post the recipe, that might give us some clues (is it for filling cake layers, just to dollop on top, mixed in with something else?) I don't think it's cool whip, because the recipe would probably direct you to buy cool whip. If it's just whipped cream, I'd guess it's regular heavy whipping cream, whipped up to 50% more volume. I've only ever seen that kind of wording with bread, where recipes will tell you something like "ferment until risen 50%". But more context might help.
