onetime

No longer current

Onetime (also one-time) as an adjective means former or having been something in the past: a onetime champion, the onetime capital of the empire.

It also describes something that happens only once: a onetime payment, a onetime offer.

Context usually makes clear which sense is intended—former emphasizes a past identity that no longer applies, while single occurrence emphasizes that something won't be repeated.
