过量 (guò liàng) — to exceed the limit; to be excessive

Definition

过量 (guò liàng) means a quantity going beyond a safe or appropriate limit — typically dosage, food, or activity, not behavior. Compared with 过分 ('over the top', about conduct) and 超标 ('exceeds a standard/regulation'), 过量 focuses on amount.
