What happens when you FPL runs out?

1

I’ve seen some pictures where users were inactive and their FPL ended, resulting in the aircraft automatically circling around(-ish) the last waypoint. Does this always happen when your FPL runs out? I’ve yet to experience it and I could see it come in handy for some long hauls I’ve planned.

No it activates autopilot after the last waypoint and you wil just fly till your fuel is empty.

If a flight plan has a sharp, inexecutable corner at the end then the aircraft will circle that waypoint as it keeps trying to carry out the instruction but cannot. This could be what you mean :)
