Definition: to stop something, to discontinue something (usually because it is not doing well)

Examples:

The project was not going well, so we decided to pull the plug. Tomorrow is the final day.

If sales don’t increase immediately, we have to pull the plug. The investors want results now, they don’t want to wait longer.
