exaggerated usage of
This is a guess, as the term "överanvändande" is not commonly used in Swedish, and rather seems like a translation from another language. The word "Over-usage" renders quite a number of Googles, but maybe not in this particular application.
I believe that the phrase "överdriven användning av" is more proper and also more consistent with my my proposal.
