flake out
Abandon your commitment
Flake out means to fall asleep or collapse from exhaustion: I flaked out on the couch after work.
It also means to fail to follow through on a commitment or to behave unreliably: He flaked out on dinner plans again.
The second sense connects to flake as slang for an unreliable person.
