What happens when a capacitor gets a current over its rated current?
In an electrolytic capacitor, with the 10x abuse (100x power) that you are considering, the electrolyte would boil, and the resulting steam cause it to vent or explode. If you exceed the rated current by a smaller margin, running hotter would cause the life of an electrolytic to be severely reduced, due to increased rate of loss of electrolyte.

Why is there a maximum voltage rating on capacitors?
The thicker the dielectric, the higher the breakdown voltage, but this also reduces the capacitor''s capacitance, which is its ability to store electrical energy. Therefore, when designing or using electronic circuits, it''s crucial to ensure that the voltage applied to a capacitor does not exceed its maximum voltage rating.

What happens if a capacitor exceeds the voltage rating?
On its way to that voltage, if the voltage exceeds the voltage rating of the capacitor, the capacitor will eventually fail. At that point it will be permanently damaged. It may have even externally ruptured. Is there a max voltage drop across a capacitor? Or does it always charge up to the same voltage as the supply?
How many Ma can a capacitor withstand a 0V charge?
can withstand 150mA for 10-20 seconds when charging the capacitor from 0V It cannot. Maximum voltage is 5,5 volts, and its ESR is 65 Ohms => max current is about 85 mA. What is the meaning of the MAX current at 30 min. column ? The datasheet has the answer: It is the residual current after 30 min. charging time (from completely discharged).
How many volts can a capacitor withstand?
The capacitor case is can-like with a diameter of ~17mm, and the specs does not specify power ratings for the case. can withstand 150mA for 10-20 seconds when charging the capacitor from 0V It cannot. Maximum voltage is 5,5 volts, and its ESR is 65 Ohms => max current is about 85 mA. What is the meaning of the MAX current at 30 min. column ?
Do perfect capacitors have a voltage rating?
They have a voltage rating, when AC is applied to a perfect capacitor the current leads the voltage by 90° so no heating effect takes place at the rated voltage.
What happens if a capacitor is over voltage?
The cap will try to charge to the supply voltage. On its way to that voltage, if the voltage exceeds the voltage rating of the capacitor, the capacitor will eventually fail. At that point it will be permanently damaged. It may have even externally ruptured. Is there a max voltage drop across a capacitor?
How do you know if a capacitor has a Max Voltage?
Usually it is printed on the capacitor itself, or found in the datasheet, or by identification of a color scheme if you know what company makes it. If there is a max voltage, then what would happen if the supply voltage far exceeds the max voltage of the capacitor, would the dielectric material break?
