Oxygen on earth has not run out because green plants release oxygen into the air by a process called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis offsets oxygen consumption by other processes such as respiration, combustion, oxidation, etc. This is why protecting greenspaces is vital; without them the earth's oxygen would eventually be depleted.

What happens if the oxygen in Earth ran out?

We would all die. This is very much unlikely though. Plants take in carbon dioxide and use that, sunlight, and water to produce energy. Oxygen is a waste product of this process. If you are worried about this happening, don't be. It's a proven fact that around 50 - 75% of our oxygen is produced by algae from the ocean. Only 21% of what we breath in is oxygen and of that, only 5% is actually used. The rest is breathed out alongside other gases that pass through our lungs.
