CLI and $200 and paying $100 off

I currently have a $1,900 credit limit. I may need to spend about $200 on the card this month, which would be around 10.5% utilization.

I always make my payments on time and pay my balance in full when possible.

I'm hoping to receive a credit limit increase around July. Would using about $200 of a $1,900 limit have any negative impact on my chances of getting a CLI? Could it help show card usage, or is it too small to matter?

I'd appreciate any insights from people who have received credit limit increases.
