verb

sobrepasar

exceed

Ir más allá de un límite, una medida o lo esperado.

Sobrepasar means to exceed, surpass, or go beyond a limit, amount, or expectation.

“The expenses exceeded the budget.”
It can also mean to pass or overtake someone or something, or to go beyond a particular point.

Sobrepasar is a regular -ar verb. It is formed from sobre- (“over” or “beyond”) and pasar (“to pass”).

It usually takes a direct object: the limit, person, or point that is exceeded or passed.

superar — “to surpass” or “overcome”; it can also mean overcoming a difficulty.
exceder — “to exceed”; often used for limits or quantities, usually in a more formal register.
adelantar — “to overtake”; emphasizes moving ahead of someone, especially in traffic.

An opposite depends on the context:

respetar — “to respect” or “observe,” as in staying within a limit rather than exceeding it.
