Opening cases describe a Bhikkhu after Kathina deciding not to have the robe made or not to return, a robe being spoiled while being made, and an expected robe gift coming to nothing; in each case Kathina privileges are suspended on the stated ground.
Crossing or remaining beyond a boundary is repeatedly tied to suspension of Kathina privileges, including cases involving failed expectations, news of suspension, and postponed return.
