Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from the parts: 'get' (obtain) + 'my fill' (the quantity that satisfies me), so a learner who knows the constituents can infer 'have had enough' or 'be fully satisfied'. This compositional possessive + noun pattern is common and predictable, making the expression transparent to a B1 learner.
Etymology
The phrase get my fill comes from the image of filling a plate or your stomach: when you get your fill, your plate or belly is full and you do not want any more. So it means 'to have had enough' or 'to be fully satisfied'.
