low point
Worst moment yet
A low point is the worst or most difficult moment in a period or experience: That was the low point of my career.
The phrase implies a trajectory—things were better before and may improve after.
In literal use, a low point is the lowest elevation in an area: Death Valley is the low point of North America.
