the.com/depletion
The universe's way of reminding you that nothing refills itself out of politeness.
means The act or process of reducing something's supply until much or all of it is gone.
from From Latin deplere, 'to empty out' — built from de- (completely) plus plere (to fill). The same plere root fills out words like 'complete' and 'replete,' so depletion is literally their opposite: not filled, but drained down.
