overdrafted

Spent beyond balance

Overdrafted describes a bank account that has been drawn beyond its balance, resulting in a negative amount.

The term appears in financial contexts when someone has spent more than their account held: My account got overdrafted after that automatic payment went through.

Less formally, it extends to any resource depleted past its limits.
