- You may be looking for Siege of Trenzalore.
The Eleventh Doctor, having expended the 12-regeneration life cycle beginning with the First Doctor, was enabled to undergo what he called "regeneration number thirteen" into the Twelfth Doctor after being provided with additional regeneration energy by the Time Lords at the end of the Siege of Trenzalore. (TV: The Time of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Time of the Doctor (TV story)"]) This event was prophesied as the Fall of the Eleventh by Dorium Maldovar. (TV: The Wedding of River Song [+]Loading...["The Wedding of River Song (TV story)"])
However, in a timeline viewed by the Doctor earlier from his perspective, the Doctor was seen to have finally died, with their TARDIS growing its exterior dimensions and acting as his grave, furthering the belief that the prophecy was for the Doctor to end his existence as a whole there.

Accounts differed as to whether the Eleventh Doctor was, in fact, physically capable of regenerating further, regardless of Time Lord intervention.
At some point after undergoing his siphoned regeneration, (TV: The Stolen Earth [+]Loading...["The Stolen Earth (TV story)"]/Journey's End [+]Loading...["Journey's End (TV story)"]) the Tenth Doctor met Jackson Lake, a man who believed himself to be the Doctor after picking up a Cyberman infostamp.

Other accounts set after the siphoned regeneration indicated the Tenth Doctor's awareness that he only had one regeneration remaining. In a meeting between himself and the Twelfth Doctor, he assumed his successor to be his next and final incarnation. (COMIC: Vortex Butterflies) In a meeting in an aborted timeline between himself and his two immediate successors, the Tenth Doctor was skeptical of the Twelfth Doctor's identity, believing that he couldn't exist.

According to one account, the Tremas Master claimed that the Valeyard was the Doctor's "penultimate reincarnation… somewhere between [their] twelfth and thirteenth regenerations". (PROSE: The Ultimate Foe) Upon seeing what he was led to believe was his thirteenth and final incarnation sink into the mud of Etarho, the Sixth Doctor suggested that he could regenerate, the Valeyard having claimed that this incarnation had attempted to bypass the cycle of twelve regenerations, though the Inquisitor understood that he could not. Such speculation was left to naught, however, when the apparent future Doctor re-emerged and revealed himself to be the Valeyard in disguise.

After being contaminated with Judas tree poison, the Eleventh Doctor suggested that he should regenerate only for the TARDIS's voice interface to point out that his regenerative ability was "disabled". (TV: Let's Kill Hitler [+]Loading...["Let's Kill Hitler (TV story)"])
The Doctor later appeared to have been killed by River Song at Lake Silencio, on 22 April 2011. A future version of River Song claimed to Amy Pond and Rory Williams that the Doctor was killed "in the middle of his regeneration cycle" and so could not make it to "the next one". However, it later transpired that the Doctor had made the shape-shifting Teselecta assume his form, allowing him to simulate both his death and his interrupted regeneration.
