This index is for tropes about going over some limit of some kind.

LimitBreak, however, is not a trope that goes here. It just sounds like an example, but it's a technique used when something reaches a certain value.

Gradated limits are those with levels / ranks / a system of measurement.
----
!!Non-Gradated Limit Tropes:
* BeyondTheImpossible: Breaking (what seemed to have been) the rules set by the story's internal logic.
* BreakingTheGlassCeiling
* DeathByGluttony: Eating too much food to survive.
* ExplosiveOverclocking: Increasing power to dangerous levels to boost speed or performance, causing a device to self-destruct (or close to it).
* HeroicRROD: Physical breakdown from overexerting oneself.
* {{Overheating}}
* SensoryOverload: Overwhelming a particular sense.
* VillainousRROD: When a villain has physical breakdown from overexerting oneself.

----
!!Gradated Limit Tropes:
* BrokeTheRatingScale: The kinds that represent the final rating with a number, anyway.
* FasterThanLightTravel: The limit being broken, is the speed limit of the universe, the speed of light.
* LudicrousSpeed: Speeds that are impossible, such as being FasterThanLightTravel, but also having bizarre side effects.
* OffTheChart
* Over100PercentCompletion: Getting more than is numerically possible to complete. 100% is already completion, after all.
* RankInflation
* ReadingsAreOffTheScale
* ReadingsBlewUpTheScale
* UpToEleven
