overage charges
Beyond-limit penalties
Overage charges are fees imposed when you exceed a predetermined limit or allowance.
They appear commonly in phone plans, data usage, storage subscriptions, and rental agreements: I got hit with overage charges after streaming too much video.
The term implies a base rate that covers usage up to a threshold, with additional costs kicking in beyond that point.
