expired meter
Time's up, driver
An expired meter is a parking meter that has run out of time, leaving a vehicle illegally parked and subject to a ticket.
The phrase appears in parking citations and signs warning of enforcement: I got a ticket for an expired meter.
By extension, it can describe any timed payment system that has lapsed.
