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.
I live in a 20 stories building with only two elevators, 4 3-bedrooms apartments per floor. And I don’t think I ever had to wait more than a couple minutes.

I don't think I've ever seen a 20-story building with less than 4 elevators at a minimum.
I've worked in low-rise office buildings with no less than 10 elevators.
Seems like that gross deficiency should have been stopped at the city inspector's office before plans were approved.
