overutilized
Worn out completely
Overutilized means used too much or beyond optimal capacity.
Resources, equipment, or personnel that are overutilized face strain from excessive demand: The clinic's overutilized staff struggled to keep up with patient volume.
The term appears frequently in business and healthcare contexts, often as a polite way of saying something is stretched too thin.
