How it's used
Retailers frequently use this term to signal that a product is being cleared out because the inventory is incomplete. It implies that while the item is still available, the specific size or fit a customer needs is likely missing. It is a common justification for why an item might be marked down in a clearance sale.
Examples
These shoes are in limited sizes, so I will sell them to you for cheaper.
I want to buy this shirt, but unfortunately, it is already out of stock in my size.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 缺貨, which means an item is completely out of stock. 斷碼 specifically refers to a situation where some sizes remain, but the full range is no longer available.
