}I disagree with your use of {loj} here.  I would have used {taHbe'}.  I tend
}to use {loj} for the concept that "the food is all gone, eaten up'" or "the
}drink is all drunk up" or "the money is all spent."

I believe we had a trial period or an n month contract or such like and that
is all gone.  My usage is probably influenced by a family idiom in which
"all gone"
refers to just about anything missing or left.  {taHbe'} is probably better,
yes.
