overusers
Those depleting resources
Overusers are people who use something excessively or too frequently.
The term typically appears in discussions of resource consumption, medication, or services: The emergency room is overwhelmed by overusers who could see a regular doctor.
It implies criticism—that someone is taking more than their fair share or using something beyond its intended purpose.
