The Complete Passuk

כִּ֤י תָבֹא֙ בְּכֶ֣רֶם רֵעֶ֔ךָ וְאָכַלְתָּ֧ עֲנָבִ֛ים כְּנַפְשְׁךָ֖ שָׂבְעֶ֑ךָ וְאֶֽל־כֶּלְיְךָ֖ לֹ֥א תִתֵּֽן׃

When you come into your neighbor’s vineyard, then you may eat grapes as your soul desires, to your fill; but you shall not put any in your vessel.

Torah Temimah points to Sifrei Devarim 268.

English: “You may eat grapes as your soul desires, to your fill” — up to satiation.

On the daf / in context: The amount is limited to what satisfies immediate appetite, not excess.
