What does 'rolling off' mean in this news report?

I was watching a news report on NBC through Youtube (https://youtu.be/-PyYNuMWVtU) and the newscaster says, "Walk us through what changes functionally if, let's say, you are still rolling off your ex, you know, your ex's account if they're whatever logged in." (2:12) From this sentence, I am not sure what 'rolling off your ex' means. Would anyone be able to help me understand this?

The clip is about password sharing, which Netflix used to promote, but now is prohibiting. A couple who was married shared the netflix password on one account. Now they got divorced.

  • One of them has to disconnect from the shared account (that is how I interpret "rolling of the ex's account" ) and set up their own separate account with a different password.
  • The original password has to be changed by the ex, who now owns the account.

Your ex is the husband or wife you divorced, in other words, a former husband (an ex-husband) or a former wife (an ex-wife). Think of 'ex' as meaning 'former'.
