Your expression too many times by one (with which I am not familiar) amounts to saying one time/once too often or that things have gone too far.

A more usual idiom is: one time too many. It also indicates that someone has gone over the limit or that something has happened too often:

We've messed with our planet one time too many, and now she's out for revenge.

I prefer to say what Popeye does: "I've had enough! And enough is too much!"

We call it "the lost drop in the glass"
Describing, isn't it?

In English it's called "the straw that broke the camel's back".

Hi!

In Germany one would say: That is the drop that makes the mineral spring welling over!

Hi Conchita,
It's easy to find the lost drop.
It's on the top of them.
You might remember that old movie, The Gods went crazy, or something like that.
A Bushman hunter was turning the whole desert upside down for that one vegetable, grabbed it, ripped it out,
worked on it with his special tools for a while, and finally drunk up a whole drop of water,that last him for the time he's got so lucky again.
I think he has a totally different phrase for describe the same situation we were talking about.
More likely uses Jamies' with the camel.
