The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.
Unfortunately, this one does not occur for "no discernable (in-universe) reason". It is justified. Or at least I think an overload is a reasonable justification.

Phlebotinum Breakdown, though it can be Plot-Driven Breakdown if this hasn't been an issue before now.
OK. I'm going with Phlebotinum Breakdown.

Dramatic Ammo Depletion via Tropes are Flexible (ie. "overload" being analogous to "running out of bullets")?
Specifically, a laser on a Powered Armor. Due to overload/overuse.
Could not find it searching the site or in the Iron Man pages.
Also, Reliably Unreliable Weapons does not seem to fit.
