If it's riveted, then you need to change asap or else you'll trash the rotors. Not really a big deal if you plan to replace the rotors with the pads, of course.

If it's just bonded (basically glued) in place, then you can pretty much keep going all the way to just before the backing plate. Unfortunately, it's not always obvious which is which.

I've only seen glued in the past decade but I've also seen a couple examples of worn completely to zero (not mine personality) recently. Always one of four is far more worn.
