powers down
Turns itself off
Powers down means to shut off or deactivate, especially electronic devices or machinery: She powered down her laptop before the flight.
The phrase suggests a controlled, deliberate shutdown rather than an abrupt cutoff.
Figuratively, it can describe winding down activity or energy: After the presentation, he needed an hour to power down.
