The term 'ran out' can be described in several ways, including EXPIRED, elapsed, LEFT, ENDED, LAPSED, petered, and wentdry. EXPIRED means that something has come to an end due to the passage of time, while elapsed means that a period of time has passed. LEFT implies that something has been removed or taken away, and ENDED suggests that something has reached its conclusion. LAPSED is similar to EXPIRED, but it implies that something has been neglected or forgotten. Petered implies that something has gradually diminished or weakened, and wentdry suggests that something has been completely used up.
