overcharged

Paid too much

Overcharged describes being charged too much money for something: They overcharged me by twenty dollars.

A battery that's overcharged has received more electrical current than it should.

Figuratively, something overcharged is excessively loaded or intense—an overcharged atmosphere, overcharged rhetoric.

The word suggests excess beyond what's appropriate or safe.
