overages
Beyond the limit
Overages are amounts that exceed a set limit or expectation.
In business, overages often refer to costs beyond budget or quantities above contracted amounts: The production overages pushed us into the red.
In retail, an overage is cash in the register exceeding what sales records predict—the opposite of a shortage.
Film and television productions track overages when shooting runs beyond scheduled time or budget.
