The subject is what ends or runs out. Time expressions locate an event’s end; a household item as subject can mean there is none left.
The idea
Compare ödev bitti with ödevi bitirdim. The first has the task as subject; the second names its finisher. Past bitti has tt, while future bitecek has one t.

Watch out
Bittim can informally mean I am exhausted. To say you finished a task, use bitirdim with the task, rather than translating I am finished word for word.
Try it yourself
Complete in the present continuous: Ders şimdi ___. (bitmek)
Show answer or example answer
bitiyor
bitiyor: use the requested present form; a third-person singular subject needs no added personal ending.
Complete in the definite past (-di): Dün film geç ___. (bitmek)
Show answer or example answer
bitti
bitti: the exercise requests the definite past; keep third-person singular agreement with the named subject.
Complete in the future tense: Kurs yarın ___. (bitmek)
Show answer or example answer
bitecek
bitecek: the third-person future keeps its final k because no vowel-initial personal ending follows it.
