lost connection

Link went dead

Lost connection describes a communication link that has failed or been interrupted.

In computing and telecommunications, it means the signal between devices has dropped: I lost connection during the video call, The game kicked me out—lost connection to the server.

Figuratively, it can describe a relationship or understanding that has faded: We lost connection after she moved away.
