What happens when GPIO is sourcing more mA than allowed?

My STM32F746 can source 25 mA per pin, but only 120 mA in total.

What happens if we exceed that amount? Will there be a brown out, will the STM32 reset, or will the STM32 get damaged?

You can consider also serially interfaced IO ports ("expanders"), e.g. MCP23S17
