Nothing appears to happen until you reach close to 105% utilisation (e.g., <code>You're currently using 16007 MB (104%) of your 15360 MB</code>), at which point, messages get temporarily rejected as follows, after the RCPT TO command is issued:

452-4.2.2 The email account that you tried to reach is over quota. Please direct
452-4.2.2 the recipient to
452 4.2.2  https://support.google.com/mail/?p=OverQuotaTemp XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX - gsmtp
