breakage
What shards indicate
Breakage is the act of breaking or the state of being broken: The movers are responsible for any breakage.
It also refers to things that have been broken, or the loss from broken items: We budget for breakage in the warehouse.
In commercial contexts, breakage can mean unredeemed gift cards or unused credits that revert to the seller as profit.
