I apologize for the misunderstanding. Overload typically refers to when an excessive demand is placed on a system or infrastructure beyond its capacity to handle, resulting in slowdowns or failure of the system. In the context of Bitcoin, an overload occurs when there are too many transactions happening too fast causing congestion on the network and delays in processing these transactions which, in turn, leads to higher transaction fees.

I apologize for the confusion and for not understanding your previous message accurately. After re-reading your initial request and information provided, it seems that the claim of an overloaded Bitcoin network was perhaps made in error or might refer to a past event where congestion occurred due to an influx of transactions on the network. However, from what you said above, it appears that Bitcoin's algorithm still proved reliable enough to sort out its problems without any human intervention required.

Regarding overloading in general, as I mentioned before, it refers to a situation where too many requests are being made within a given system beyond its capability to process them all efficiently. This can happen within various contexts such as computer networks and websites.

Do you have any other questions? I will do my best to answer them correctly!

Then give me a more precise answer, at what point can we consider that the overload occurred?
