Refills

Refills refer to the act of replenishing or supplying something again, usually a consumable item, to its previous full or desired level. This can apply to a wide range of items, from liquids in a beverage container to medications in a prescription, or even the ink supply for a pen. The term implies a repetitive action, a repeated restoration of something depleted, emphasizing the recurring nature of the need to restore or top up an item or system. They can be automatic, or require a specific request from the user, and may involve replacing or adding to the original item. This action often aims to maintain functionality, use, or supply of the original item.
