The limit of coercion that does not render a person an apostate

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the limit of coercion that does not render a person an apostate? Are there types of coercion? I hope for clarification.

Answer:
Coercion varies depending on the actions and matters involved. It may be considered coercion in one case and not in another. Coercion varies according to its context. However, the coercion that excuses a person is that from which he cannot escape death, beating, or threat, except by uttering what is demanded of him. Uttering what is demanded of him. Uttering the word of disbelief. If he cannot escape the tyranny of the oppressor except by speaking, he speaks, provided that his heart is reassured with faith.
except for one who is forced [to renounce his religion] while his heart is secure in faithإِلَّا مَنْ أُكْرِهَ وَقَلْبُهُ مُطْمَئِنٌّ بِالْإِيمَانِ
[An-Nahl 16:106]
