cutoff times
Last acceptable moments
Cutoff times are deadlines by which something must be completed to qualify for processing in a particular cycle.
Banks set cutoff times for same-day deposits; shippers set them for next-day delivery: Orders placed after the cutoff time will ship tomorrow.
The term emphasizes that missing the deadline means waiting for the next available window.
