overusage
Excessive application frequency
Overusage means excessive use—employing something too much or too often.
The word appears in discussions of language, medication, or resources: Overusage of antibiotics contributes to resistant bacteria.
Usage alone often carries this meaning, making overusage somewhat redundant, though it emphasizes the excess more explicitly.
