Can stream restriction # return fewer items than expected?

Question

If sthere are at least nelements in the stream below , what are the situations where the stream sLimitmay have fewer elements n, if any?

Stream sLimit = s.limit(n);

Cause of question: in this answer , I read that:

Despite the visibility, use limit(10)does not necessarily result in a stream SIZEDwith exactly 10 elements - it may be less.

Answer 1

I think the answers of Holger and Sotirios are accurate, but since I'm the guy who made this expression, I think I have to explain it myself.

, SIZED. "" , , . , , , .

limit() , , limit , . SIZED, , SIZED.

IntStream.range(0, 100).limit(10)

, , 10 . ( .) spliterator SIZED. , limit :
