Answer
It stops making requests to the failing service until it recovers.
A Circuit Breaker opens when a service repeatedly fails, effectively stopping further requests. This prevents additional strain on the system. For example, in an online bookstore, if the inventory service fails, the Circuit Breaker opens to prevent further stock checks, reducing load and alerting the team to investigate.
