window closing

Ending an opportunity

Window closing refers to the brief period before an opportunity expires or becomes unavailable.

The window is a metaphorical opening through which action must pass: The window for applying is closing fast.

In finance, it marks the end of a trading period.

In technology, it may simply mean shutting an application window on a computer screen.
