What happens if we exceed the recommended 5g of creatine intake per day?

Question

Hi all, everyone I talk about this and everywhere I look, it is always recommended to never take more than 5g of creatine per day.

So, what happens if we do?

Bonus: how is it always 5g regardless of body weight?

Thank you in advance.

Edit: Thank you guys, appreciate the clarification!

Loading phase of higher amounts just saturates quicker. You could take 10-20 for a week and be saturated then just use 5g. But I get bad stomach bloating etc so don’t bother
