outworn
Past its time
Outworn means worn out or obsolete—no longer useful or valid.
An outworn tradition has outlived its relevance.
Outworn clothes are shabby from overuse.
The word suggests something that once served its purpose but time has rendered it tired or ineffective: outworn ideas, outworn machinery, outworn excuses.
