A bridge too far
Taking on more than you can likely achieve, particularly too many tasks.
While it can imply a long-shot, it connotes more an idea of striving to do more than can be achieved, rather than striving to do a thing that is unlikely to be successful.
The previous definition by "A solid cube of tungsten" had a good historical reference, but the particular example was not quite on point: "The story behind it is that during WWII in 1944, the Allies came up with a plan (Operation Market Garden) to use paratroopers to secure three bridges over three key rivers behind enemy lines in The Netherlands. British forces would then rush forward across all three bridges to relieve the paratroopers, and later push into Germany itself.
It was an extremely ambitious plan. A British commander is alleged to have said “I think we may be going a bridge too far”, and he was right. The American airborne divisions were able to capture the first two bridges, and were relieved. But the British and Polish paratroopers at the third and final bridge at Arnhem were basically wiped out before tanks of the Irish Guards could punch through to reach them. Market Garden was an operational failure."

Modified from the first example:
Person 1: “I’m going to try to finish the essay the morning it’s due, play a round of golf, and then ride my bike to school to drop it off.”
Person 2: “I think that’s a bridge too far buddy...

Going too far to defend your fav pixel
Going too far to defend your fav pixel is a common illness most people suffer from.
What are some coping ways?

2. Take deep breaths.

Gone too far
Anything that exceed the limits of what is reasonable or acceptable, most likely anything that wasn't justified.

The cookie doesn't crumble far from the tree.
A saying by non-native English speakers who have literally no idea how our metaphors or idioms work. Bullshit nonsense that's probably the butt of a joke or something.
Person 1: Hey Sven, why weren't you at work yesterday?
Sven: That's the way the apple falls when the cookie doesn't crumble far from the tree.
Person 1: ...
