To have your fill means to have had enough of something to be satisfied, to have eaten or experienced as much as you want until you feel full or content. The phrase comes from eating, as in eat your fill meaning eat until you are no longer hungry. Figuratively, it can mean to have had sufficient or even excessive amount of an activity, experience, or thing. For example, I have had my fill of traveling means you have traveled enough and feel satisfied or even tired of it. It can be positive, indicating satisfaction and satiety, or slightly negative, indicating you have had more than enough and do not want more, as in I have had my fill of drama. Synonyms include have enough, be satisfied, be sated, have your fill, get your fill. The phrase suggests reaching a point where desire is met, not deprivation. For example, after a buffet, you might say I had my fill, meaning you ate sufficiently. In emotional context, I have had my fill of excuses means you are tired of hearing excuses. It implies completeness and closure.
