poop out
Run out of gas
Poop out means to become exhausted or quit from fatigue: I pooped out halfway through the hike.
It also describes things that stop working or fail: The engine pooped out on us.
The phrase suggests a gradual loss of energy rather than sudden collapse.
Someone who has pooped out is simply too tired to continue.
