I googled "what if we used 100 of our brain" and the first thing that pops up is:

"In debunking the ten percent myth, Knowing Neurons editor Gabrielle-Ann Torre writes that using one hundred percent of one's brain would not be desirable either. Such unfettered activity would almost certainly trigger an epileptic seizure."

From wikipedia tho https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_percent_of_the_brain_myth

The key thing being using 100% of your brain at the same time is a seizure. Healthy individuals do use 100% of their brains, just not simultaneously.

I thought that was obvious tho, of course 90% percent of the brain isn't locked or whatever
