cutoff time
Last acceptable moment
A cutoff time is a deadline after which something is no longer accepted or possible: The cutoff time for same-day shipping is 2 PM.
Banks, shipping companies, and institutions set cutoff times for transactions, orders, or applications.
Missing the cutoff means waiting for the next processing window.
