I love this phrase. Usually it brings connotations of gambling. Someone who died playing chicken with a train can be said to have cashed his own chips. However, you can refer to anyone this way, and if the person was not risking his life — gambling — the phrase seems humorously inappropriate. As in “Grandma was just sitting in her chair and she cashed in her chips.”

she/he cashed in her/ his chips too soon is appropriate to say when someone ends their life early…dies young!
euphemism: 1. the substitution of a mild, indirect, or vague expression for one thought to be offensive, harsh, or blunt. 2. the expression so substituted: "To pass away" is a euphemism for "to die."
