Sep 14, 2020 at 1:25 comment added varkor Thanks, this is a nice example. I think simply knowing that there isn't such an elegant characterisation for (1) is enough to answer that part of my question. I had hoped there would be a condition not much more complex than that for (2), but suspected it might not be the case.
Sep 13, 2020 at 14:14 comment added Zhen Lin Well, I wouldn't expect anything as nice as (2). For example you might consider $\textbf{CRing}^X$ where $X$ is an infinite set. This is a locally finitely presentable category for general reasons, but the terminal object – the limit of the empty diagram! – is not finitely presentable. So one has to do more work to figure out how a finitely accessible functor defined on finitely presentable objects is going to act on the terminal object.
Sep 13, 2020 at 12:20 comment added varkor Thank you, this is helpful! Is there reason to believe there may not be a nice characterisation for (1)?
