Going beyond a particular amount, limit, or level.
“Baggage exceeding 23 kilograms will incur an additional fee.”
“Applications exceeding the word limit will not be considered.”
Diagrams about fees or penalties often describe consequences for exceeding a limit (e.g., exceeding the allowed weight or exceeding a deadline). Identify exactly what happens when a value is exceeding the stated threshold, since this is a common basis for eligibility or extra-charge questions. Compare the scenario's number directly against the limit to see if it truly exceeds it.
