You answered your own question. Any payment applied over the amount due is simply called a credit balance.
If a customers account has a "credit" balance, this means the company owes that customer rather than the customer owing the company. Customer accounts tend to have a debit balance, meaning the customer owes the company that amount. It is rare when a company owes a customer, if this does happen, the account becomes a liability instead of an asset because of the fact that now the company owes money rather than is "owed" money.
Assuming you mean as a customer - that's called your credit limit.
