Absolutely you can over fill the bottle. Years ago the shop I went to get my bottle filled was one of the only fill stations in a big radius. He used to over fill the bottles because guys would drive a long way and they wanted to squeeze ever bit of juice in they could. Well one time the guys had the bottles release because they warmed up and blew the safety valve.
You MUST weigh the bottle and only fill it till it weighs it's max.
They freeze filled also.

Bottles are only designed to safely take that much of anything... 10lb bottle means it will hold 10lbs of nitrous safely. I had an issue back in like 2003 where an Auto Zone or Checker (can't remember which one) filled my bottle - guy said he put thirteen pounds in it which I was skeptical about...
Long story short the second I put heat on it the burst disc blew and I had to call the store back to get a new fitting and for it to be refilled. They paid for it but had the burst disc failed it could have been very dangerous/deadly.
Not to overdramatize the situation but is having an extra pound or two worth your life? Be safe when filling it up
