📖What it means
The work was retried until its allowance ran out and is stopped. It is a budget verdict, not a judgment that the work was wrong — the ladder ends rather than looping forever.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Fail
Cycles-exceeded is running out of tries; fail is a judgment on what was produced.
