Definition
超出 (chāochū) means 'to exceed, to go beyond' and emphasizes crossing a specific boundary or limit, such as a budget, expectation, or regulation. It is more focused on limits than 超过 (chāoguò), which is broader for surpassing in quantity or overtaking; 超越 (chāoyuè) implies transcending in a more abstract or lofty sense.
