off switch
Device shutdown control
An off switch is a control that stops a device from operating, cutting power or ending a process.
Figuratively, it describes the ability to disengage from something: He has no off switch when it comes to work.
Someone who lacks an off switch can't stop themselves—they keep going past the point others would quit.
