Why are you point commitments from planning so high? Sounds like they are 25% - 30% higher than they should be.

They are. I don't get to choose my point commitment. It's set for every one. Turn over is surprisingly high...

At least I Scrum, as I understand it, the commitment should be chosen by reflecting it to past velocity. If that velocity is achieved only by crunching and overworking, that's a problem that needs to be addressed. If it can't be reasonably addressed, that's a sign of a toxic workplace.
