When the bond fails to maintain the Interest Buffer above the minimum threshold, it can be closed immediately.
At redemption, the lender may receive additional interest for up to 6 epochs of Interest Buffer and regain the original ADA immediately
10. What is an Interest Buffer (or Minimum Interest Buffer)?
Minimum Interest Buffer is the minimum amount of interest that must be kept in the bond at all times. If the interest buffer is not maintained, the ADA in the smart contract is no longer locked and the lender can redeem it, at which point the borrower loses the ability to attach their stake key
11. When can a bond be canceled/closed?
An Active bond can be closed if the borrower does not fulfill the bond's terms by failing to provide adequate interest to maintain the Interest Buffer above the minimum threshold (6 epochs).
An active bond can also be closed once it reaches maturity.
