level cap
Growth's hard limit
A level cap is the maximum level a character can reach in a video game's progression system.
Games with experience-based advancement typically set a ceiling: The level cap in the base game is 50, but the expansion raises it to 60.
Reaching the cap shifts gameplay from leveling to endgame content.
The term extends to any artificial ceiling on advancement.
