Can cantrips be casted as a bonus action?

Yes, you can cast a cantrip as a bonus action in D&D 5e, but only if the cantrip itself has a casting time of 1 bonus action (like Shillelagh or Magic Stone) or if you use a special ability like the Sorcerer's Quicken Spell metamagic to turn an action-cast spell (even a cantrip) into a bonus action, with strict rules applying to other spells cast that turn. The key rule is: if you cast any spell (cantrip or not) as a bonus action, your action that turn can only be used for a cantrip with a 1-action casting time; you cannot cast another leveled spell.

Can cantrips be cast as bonus action?

How many times can cantrips be cast?

You can use a cantrip as many times as you want in a day, as they don't cost spell slots and have no daily limit, but you're generally restricted to casting one per action (about every 6 seconds in combat), unless a special ability allows a bonus action spell followed by a cantrip. Think of them as unlimited-use tools or weapons that scale with your level, perfect for frequent casting in or out of combat.

No, you generally cannot use Twinned Spell on Eldritch Blast at higher levels because the spell gains multiple beams (targeting more than one creature by default), violating Twinned Spell's core rule of targeting only one creature. You can use it at levels 1-4 when it produces just one beam, but once you hit level 5 and it creates two beams (and more at higher levels), it's ineligible for twinning, even if you aim all beams at the same target.
