This happens. I don't think they realize that hourly contracts without work are kind of a dead weight, depending on how you plan out your day.
What I usually do is send them an email checking in, asking if there is anything else I can do to help them. If they don't respond, I usually send another message that's a little firmer, requesting that, if there's nothing else they need from me, they terminate the contract. With these kinds of messages, I always make sure to include a note that they are welcome to contact me again next time they need help.
Honestly, hourly contracts are my least favorite because of how I organize my schedule. But everyone works with them differently. As you move forward, you will come up with your own strategies.

You could, or you could just leave it open and see what happens. No real downside to either.
You could also send the client a message (if you haven't already been following up with them) and let them know that since it's been however long since you heard from them, you're going to go ahead and close the contract but would be happy to work with them again in the future if they need your help (if that part is true)
