underflowed
Dropped too low
Underflowed is the past tense of underflow, a computing term for when a calculation produces a number too small for the system to represent—the opposite of overflow.
When a value underflows, it may be rounded to zero or trigger an error: The calculation underflowed and returned zero instead of the actual result.
