Global growth rate today about 1% per year which is 10x higher than it was in Europe in the middle ages. It would be hovering around 0 if we were at capacity. In Europe, it was 0 on average between 1300 and 1400 (black death), so they were still growing otherwise but just barely compared to now.
You could speculate that our current population isn't sustainable because it depends on non-renewable resources, but that's on a longer time scale than we're talking about here.
