In plain English: Stacks in levels (1-6). Each level gives -2 to d20 Tests and -5 ft. Speed. Level 6 is death. A Long Rest removes one level.

The rule (SRD 5.2.1)

While you have the Exhaustion condition, you experience the following effects.

• Exhaustion Levels. This condition is cumulative. Each time you receive it, you gain 1 Exhaustion level. You die if your Exhaustion level is 6.
• D20 Tests Affected. When you make a D20 Test, the roll is reduced by 2 times your Exhaustion level.
• Speed Reduced. Your Speed is reduced by a number of feet equal to 5 times your Exhaustion level.
• Removing Exhaustion Levels. Finishing a Long Rest removes 1 of your Exhaustion levels. When your Exhaustion level reaches 0, the condition ends.
