overage fees
Penalties for excess
Overage fees are charges for exceeding a limit set by a contract or plan.
Mobile carriers charge overage fees when you use more data than your plan allows.
Storage services bill them when you exceed your quota.
The term appears across industries—utilities, shipping, cloud computing—wherever usage-based pricing meets preset thresholds: We got hit with overage fees after the kids streamed movies all month.
