switched off
No longer running
Switched off describes something that has been turned off, typically by flipping a switch: Make sure the lights are switched off before you leave.
Figuratively, someone who is switched off is disengaged or inattentive—mentally checked out: He seemed completely switched off during the meeting.
The phrase can also describe feeling emotionally detached or unresponsive.
