A Barbarian is normally limited to 20 in all scores, except for when they reach Level 20 when the limit increases to 24.
However, as noted, Rage itself doesn't actually increase your strength score. It does give a bonus to damage caused by Strength-based melee attacks, as well as advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
Rage does not increase STR scores, but many other things can, including magic items like belt of storm giant strength, the aforementioned Barbarian Capstone, Epic Boons, and certain potions

Can a raging barbarian get a strength stat over 20? I’m having an argument over this, I don’t think they can, other guy thinks yes, what is it?
Raging doesn't increase your strength score, this belongs in Rules and Game Mechanics, and the barbarian level 20 capstone does go past 20.
I have a weird sense of humor.
I also make maps.(That's a link)
