Expression used to convey that the person's resources have - or will be - cut off. Originates from Paul Verhoeven's Starship Troopers in which Rico's father cuts him off for being obnoxious and dangerously care-free.
The phrase "That's it! You are cut off!" can also be used. The following are instances in which these 2 expressions can be heard:
Example #1
Stan: Why isn't the internet working? I need to finish my homework!
Martin: Maybe something's wrong with the modem.
Jennifer: Your mother just disconnected the cable!
Martin: You are cut off young man!!
Example #2
Steve: Hey John, can you lend me some money?
Mark: You're asking him again? Didn't you already owe him?
John: That's it, you are cut off!

This is a phenomenon that occurs during group chat, when someone asks for an opinion/question, and then right when you say, "i agree" someone before you says another opinion, so the other people dont know who you agree with...
Group Chat:
Megan- Hey guys, do you think we should have a constitution? I mean, we're trying to create a fake project, I think its worth it.
Jack- I dont think it's neccessary
Vishal- I agree
Jack- with who?
Vishal- o dang. got Group chat cut-off (gcco) ... i agreed with megan.
Jack- oh. got it.
