hey buddy ,,♠♠♠♠♠
⤵⤵⤵⤵maximum covalency of oxygen is 2,, since after the completion of covalency, it gains stable configuration,, if it donates 3 or more ELECTRONS or has more than 2 covalency, the it leads to unstable electric configuration, leading to instability,, and doesn't obey stable octet rule.... however it shows covalency 1 in case of peroxide,, but it's an exceptional case

Hey !!
Oxygen usually forms two bonds. Its valency cannot be expanded due to lack of valence d-orbitals. However, the maximum covalency of oxygen is three, due to an additional dative bond formed by oxygen using one of its lone pairs.
Hydronium ion, H₃O⁺ has two covalent bonds and one coordinate covalent bond formed by oxygen atom. Oxonium ion, (C₂H₅)₂OH⁺ also has three bonds formed by oxygen.
GOOD LUCK !!
