In Spanish we often say:
se acabó lo que se daba
Meaning the same as the above mentioned, you have been nice and now you have had it!
That is definitely the best I can think of, but probably only used in Spain.
Es la gota que rebasó el vaso (That's the drop that made the cup overflow)
That's roughly similar to our "that's the straw that broke the camel's back"...that might work for you.
Hmmm....we often just say "That's the last straw!!!"...I wonder if in Spanish one could say, "Esa es la gota final!!!"
Anyway, I got that from our phrasebook.
Then, here are some more phrases that might work...
Ya estoy harta!!! (I'm sick and tired!!!)
Ya he tenido suficiente!! (I've had enough!)
The two above I got from a thread at a different forum. I searched for "I've had it." Nowhere on the internet could I find a suitable translation for "No more Mr. Nice Guy!" (I'll bet there's something that fits the bill, though).

Or put another way." I have great expectations as to how you should behave and
you have not performed in the manner which I expected"
We have no right to expect another person to keep up to our standards,
or if they do not show us the kindness that we give to them , that we will then
withdraw our patronage , and in future not be nice and friendly because there
is no reward in it for us. You must live your life according to the standards
which you want to give to other people regardless as to their gratitude or
lack of appreciation . Live by the maxim ,"It is better to give then receive", BWAH.
If I show someone a kindness, then I definitely want them to "benefit from it."
And if that means they have "taken advantage" of my kindness, then that is
not myconcern . What someone does with my offering , be it money,
food or support is of no consequence , once my generosity has been accepted
it is no longer mine to influence .The gift is now for their benefit and advantage.
It does not make me stronger, nor weaker, simply happy that I was able to give
some assistance to a sentient being
Hola, Your question is a good one! No more Mr. Nice guy is a common expression usually used in my area to mean, I have been very nice to you but you have taken advantage of my kndness and now I have got to set you straight.
Here is a link to a song in spanish. No more Mr.Nice Guy Alice Cooper sang a song with this title, I believe.
I'm not sure of the most common way to say this but here is a translation that captures the general meaning of the statement.
Ya no estaré agradable contigo.
From the song Bryn links to, I like this line:
Aquel chico bueno, ¡se acabó!
Does that mean: It is finished that which was being given? - webdunce
Well, yes, more or less.
I gave you a lot of niceness and friendship and love...all this is over now.
Also:
¡Hasta aquí hemos llegado"
no más agradable señor chico?
And of course, one of my favorites,, Do not mistake my kindness for weakness
Couldn't you say, "No más Señor Simpatico?"
