Did I miss what exactly made El lose her powers? Was it just overexertion or something the meatball mind flayer did to her?

Overexertion, and how many times she tried to find people with a blindfold on. Mike was very concerned using her so often would take a toll on her. When she tried to find Billy, that session clearly drained her and sapped her of her powers more than usual, when she tried to exit and Billy grabbed her arm, then she took the blindfold off and her friends weren't there initially. That session sapped her, then she was greatly weakened when the thing messed up her leg.

So I think it was a combination of her being used to find people with her mind so often, which has to be much more draining than simply closing a door with her mind or something basic, that may even be more draining than physically moving stuff or fighting monsters or people. The intensity of finding Billy and seeing his thoughts drained her, then the thing injuring her leg weakened her overall which obviously affected her energy levels and her ability to use her powers.
