Two times when I can think of when A might want to decline the penalty:

1. 4th quarter, time expires during the down. A is leading the game. A doesn't want the untimed down. Thus, they might decline the penalty to end the game.

2. 4th quarter, 3 seconds to go in the game. A is down by by two points. A's field goal kicker doesn't want to be any closer due to the angle of the kick. Thus, he wants to decline the distance.
