There is one definitive rule that you can use to apply to these two situations: the umpire's judgement as to whether a play was being made or not.

Decent rule of thumb - the moment the pitcher cocks the arm, "ready to make a play," LBR is off. If the arm just stays there, and YOU realize there's no imminent throw, then you should assume the runner should be aware that there's no imminent throw, and LBR is on. If the arm keeps making fake throwing motions, LBR stays off.
