Bounded means having limits or boundaries.
A bounded region has defined edges; a bounded set in mathematics contains no elements beyond certain values.
The word often contrasts with unbounded or infinite: The universe may be bounded or unbounded.
To say enthusiasm is bounded suggests it has constraints, while unbounded enthusiasm knows no limits.
