It really depends on the person. For me, I honestly don't think I've ever worked out just too much. If you feel like you're developing serious physical issues, you might be overdoing it. If you can't focus on anything else, but exercise, you may be overdoing it. If you're asking yourself whether or not it's too much, it probably is.....

Exercise is subjective to the individual- however I believe everyone should draw the line at exercising to the point of feeling weak/exhausted and run down. If your social life, sleeping patterns, food intake and other commitments are dependant/altered by exercise, then it is then that working out becomes a problem.

It is too much if you're so exhausted that you can not function in other areas of your life. Balance is key,

Well, there are many researches that state that if you are new to exercising then you do not want to over due it right away. Give your body a couple of weeks to get adjusted. So I would say working out at least 45 minutes and no more then 1 hour 3 times a week is healthy. If you are going to body build then there is more time you need to spend in the gym.

If you reach the point where you're depriving yourself of sleep in order to exercise, or finding yourself absolutely exhausted everyday, you should take a rest. Reduced performance when exercising is also a sign of fatigue. When planning your schedule, account for enough rest days in the week :)

When you start feeling pain and negative effects then you have overdone it, usually you would know it by yourself but the deal is to have enough self discipline to decide to be moderate and not just listen to your pride and push your limits for the sake of it or for any unimportant reason

If you are exercising more than 3 hours a day, that is too much. If you feel like you're going to pass out, sit down with your head between your legs, drink lots of water, and maybe take it easy the rest of the day.

You can only know that yourself, because we are all different and our bodies react to exercise differently. But it is important to give your body a break, at least one day without exercise, in order for the muscles to relax and react to the changes you caused in them during exercising.
Listen to what your body is telling you, it will let you will know when it had enough.
