'charge too much?' is the definition.
'overload' can be an answer for 'charge' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'too much?' bit.

'charge too much?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'charge' could be 'load' (loading is a kind of charging) and 'load' is found in the answer.
'too much?' could be 'over' (over can mean to too great an extent) and 'over' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for overload that I've seen before include "Excessive amount" , "Place too great a burden on" , "Weigh down" , "saddle" , "Put too great a demand on (electric circuit)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and The Globe and Mail.
