vacation mode

Temporary absence configuration

Vacation mode describes a mental state of deliberate disengagement from work and everyday responsibilities.

Someone in vacation mode isn't checking emails, worrying about deadlines, or thinking about obligations: I'm officially in vacation mode—don't call me unless it's an emergency.

The phrase also describes device or account settings that pause activity during absence, as when an online seller suspends their shop.
