saturation point
Full to bursting
Saturation point is the limit beyond which no more can be absorbed or accepted.
In chemistry, it's when a solution can dissolve no more of a substance.
The phrase extends to any situation reaching maximum capacity: The housing market has hit saturation point.
I've reached my saturation point with bad news.
