saturation points

Maximum absorption thresholds

Saturation points are the limits at which no more can be absorbed, dissolved, or accommodated.

In chemistry, a solution reaches its saturation point when it can dissolve no more of a substance.

The term extends to any context where capacity maxes out: The market has reached its saturation point for streaming services.

Beyond this threshold, additions have no effect or cause overflow.
