unexpandable

Stuck at maximum

Unexpandable describes something that cannot be made larger, extended, or increased in scope.

The term applies to physical objects with fixed dimensions, digital storage that has reached its maximum capacity, or abstract concepts like budgets or timelines that have no room for growth.
