maximum capacity

Absolute occupancy ceiling

Maximum capacity is the greatest amount something can hold or accommodate.

Venues have maximum capacities set by fire codes: The stadium's maximum capacity is 50,000.

Engines, batteries, and storage containers all have maximum capacities—the upper limit before overflow, failure, or danger.

We're operating at maximum capacity means no room remains for more.
