up to here
At maximum capacity
Up to here indicates a limit has been reached, usually of patience or tolerance: I've had it up to here with your excuses.
The phrase often accompanies a gesture—hand held flat at forehead or chin level—to show how "full" one is of frustration.
It can also mark a physical level: The water came up to here.
