I take a little to much getting use to.

je prends - i take
un peu trop - a little too much
le pli - get use to

Translations for le pli mainly included ‘crease/wrinkle/fold’ and "envelope3
Also used in sayings like “ne pas faire un pli” meaning “be no doubt about”
or
“prendre le pli de faire” meaning “get into the habit of doing”

Hope this helps! Context should help you narrow it down

Yes, like the other reply says, “prendre le pli de faire qch” means “get into the habit of doing smth” (Collins Robert Fr. College Dict.), so presumably “je prends un peu trop le pli” would be something like “it’s becoming a bit too much of a habit”. This is a new expression to me too, so it will be interesting if you perhaps get some more responses.
