overabundance
Far too much
Overabundance is an excess—more of something than is needed or wanted.
The word suggests surplus to the point of burden: an overabundance of zucchini from the garden, an overabundance of caution.
Unlike abundance, which is generally positive, overabundance implies too much of even a good thing.
