Overage is the difference between the number of billable users and the licensed number of users. This is calculated differently depending on whether the license has expired or not.

If the license has expired, it uses the historical maximum billable user count (historical_max).
If the license has not expired, it uses the current billable users count.

Returns:

200 OK with response containing the licenses in JSON format. This is an empty JSON array if there are no licenses.
403 Forbidden if the current user in not permitted to read the licenses.
