clocked out

Left for home

Clocked out describes someone who has formally ended their work shift, typically by recording their departure time on a time clock or digital system.

The phrase extends figuratively to mean mentally disengaged or no longer paying attention: I clocked out around hour three of that meeting.

Someone who has clocked out may be physically present but is done putting in effort.

She's totally clocked out—don't expect any help from her today.
