I am currently staying in an AirBnB of a 60 floor tower, and the three elevator shafts definitely cannot handle this (I don't think the building was designed with renting to tourists in mind). The elevators are frequently completely saturated during weekends, meaning that the elevator stops at each floor, but noone can get in because the elevator is already full. This means the backlog of people wanting to use the elevators is increasing until after rush hour, and I have at one time experienced a waiting time of over half an hour.
What I take from this is, elevators need a proper check to see if they are full, and if so skip floors.

Elevator load measurement is an option you can buy.[2] Somebody didn't.
60 stories with three elevators is underserved, and needs all the control help it can get.
