I got one advice from an Instagram profile I follow (Cosmisacademy) - make your Chorus "GRAND", make it sound good and make sure it stands out.

...and I always add - make your Chorus memorable. Make sure that the first thing you remember of your own song, is the Chorus. As a listener you should always be absolutely certain when you are listening to a Chorus.

One thing you can test when you arrange your song - how many times can you sing or listen to each part of your song, before you feel that it's time to move on. My rule of thumb is, that you should be able to repeat your chorus far more times, than ny other part of the song, without getting bored or growing tired of it. Having said that, I usually limit myself to a max of 3 Chorus per song (and max repeating the Chorus 3 times before or during Outro).

...and as pointed out elsewhere - just make it sound good.
