Peak burnout is the apex of exhaustion — the moment when everything depleted, motivation gone, body tired, brain static, and the capacity to push any further has simply stopped existing. It's the ceiling of the burnout experience: beyond peak burnout, things don't get worse because something has to give. Peak burnout is often described as the moment of clarity that forces a change, the point where you either quit, call in sick for a week, or have the breakdown that leads to the restructuring.
