Ludwig's WRAP-UP
The phrase "exceed of" is generally considered grammatically incorrect in standard English. As Ludwig AI confirms, it is not a commonly used or accepted construction. To express the idea of surpassing a limit, it is more appropriate to use "in excess of" or to use the verb "exceed" followed directly by the object being exceeded. While the phrase appears in some sources, its usage is infrequent and typically indicates an error rather than a correct grammatical construction. Therefore, writers should avoid using "exceed of" in their writing.
