as it is
Without any changes
As it is signals the actual state of affairs, often contrasting with how things might be, should be, or were expected to be: As it is, we'll have to make do with what we have.
The phrase can introduce a correction or resignation—acknowledging reality rather than preference.
It also appears meaning "already" or "in the current situation": I'm stressed enough as it is without you adding to it.
