light flow

Barely any current

Light flow describes a reduced or gentle rate of movement, most commonly referring to menstrual bleeding that is lighter than typical: I only need pantyliners during my light flow days.

The term also applies to traffic, water, or other substances moving at less than usual volume or intensity: We hit light flow on the highway and made good time.
