go the limit—(also: go to the limit)
1. do as much as possible:
- We know that Quiller will go the limit to ensure the success of his mission.
2. go beyond what is reasonable:
- I am taking my time about it and do not go the limit. Do not let them tell you that I am foolish or hare-brained.
reach the limit—reach the extreme point:
- I think those shares have reached the limit, they are not likely to rise higher than they are now.
