low power mode

Energy conservation setting

Low power mode is a setting on electronic devices that reduces energy consumption to extend battery life.

It typically dims screens, limits background activity, and slows processing.

The term has spread figuratively to describe a person operating at reduced capacity: I'm in low power mode until I've had my coffee.
