The threshold varies based on the Vin/Vout ratio – furthermore on a battery application, the decaying Vin will change that threshold as well.
For MAX77827, overall that threshold is within 100mA to 300mA. One can usually detect when the transition occur based on where the efficiency curve in SKIP mode dips then comes back up.
