As a result of these regulations, most card issuers have done away with over-limit fees. So the default for any transactions over your credit limit may be that the transaction is denied.
But if your card issuer charges an over-limit fee and asks for your one-time consent and you approve, you can change your mind and opt-out at any time. If you don't opt-in, your card issuer will decline any purchases you attempt to make over your limit.
And even if you opt-in to over-limit fees, transactions exceeding your credit limit may still be denied. While spending over your credit limit may provide short-term relief, it can cause long-term financial issues, including fees, debt and damage to your credit score.
You should avoid maxing out your card and spending anywhere near your credit limit. Best practice is to try to maintain a low credit utilization rate.
If you go over your credit limit, Harzog recommends you sit down and consider why you went over your limit in the first place and review your budget. You should figure out what purchases caused you to spend more and whether you can make any changes to your spending habits. If you have a low credit limit or your credit limit recently got cut, you may wonder what you should do to avoid going over-limit.
If you've had a low credit limit for a while and currently have a stable job, you may want to request a credit limit increase.

Your card issuer may offer you the ability to go over your credit limit with programs known as over-the-limit coverage or protection plans. If you opt into this kind of program, your card issuer can authorize card transactions that exceed your limit. But these programs come with the potential for extra fees, so make sure you read the fine print.
This fee may not be a one-time thing, either.
