Breaking off is a tactical procedure that can only really be carried out when you are still above the surveillance minimum altitude as shown on the ATCSMAC. If you are below that level then usually it would have to be a standard missed approach procedure or 'go around'. So I would say that the cut off is the surveillance minimum altitude in the direction you are instructed to turn.
