I'd better be off

[eddiemel7778]

Hi there guys! If I'm talking to someone and before we end the conversation the person tell me the following: "Well, I'd better be off."
What does it really mean?

Thanks heaps.

It means that they feel that they should go. Maybe because they have other things to do, or because they have been talking for too long.

Means they going to have to leave.

Does it sound casual (in the context defined in the above posts)? Or would you use something different?
