It's once their arc seemingly ends or at minimum no indication of redemption in their last appearance. Plenty of villains are seemingly killed off or given no indication until much later. Orochimaru isn't given any hints when added and seemingly killed but he's later revived and redeemed. The character at the time can have no indication but Lotso isn't impossible to redeem if someone working on the story chooses to do so.
