Range Anxiety
Noun · Slang & Abbreviations
Definitions
Borrowed from electric-vehicle culture, this refers to worry about whether a system, budget, or process can make it far enough before running out of capacity. In engineering slang, it applies to teams and systems operating near their limits.
In plain English: Worry about running out of capacity before reaching the goal.
Example: "The team had range anxiety about the training run because the GPU budget looked just barely large enough for one serious attempt."
