gotten to the point
Reached the crux
Gotten to the point describes reaching a stage or condition, usually after gradual development: Things have gotten to the point where I can't ignore it anymore.
The phrase often introduces a threshold—a moment when circumstances demand attention or action.
We've gotten to the point of no return.
