desynced
No longer synchronized
Desynced describes something that has fallen out of synchronization.
In gaming and computing, it refers to a state where connected systems or players no longer share the same data: The multiplayer match crashed after we desynced.
Audio and video can become desynced when they no longer align: The lip movements are desynced from the dialogue.
The term extends to anything that should be coordinated but isn't: My sleep schedule is completely desynced from everyone else's.
