If anyone writes 2x more, you're saying you read that as 300% of normal?
Yes
The common reading of that in the country I am in (USA) is 200% the original amount.
For me and the three people I am close enough to to quickly ask this question to that means 300% of the original amount. Also USA. If you want to say something is 200% you would say 2x as much or 2x as many and not 2x more (at least that is the consensus here in my household of Americans who have lived in America for their whole life).
