You can use Fold and the related Z: (Terminate Fold)
0 {{ y[1 Z: y > 10 }} F.. + 1 5 6 16
12
0 {{ y[1 Z: y > 10 }} F:. + 1 5 6 16
1 6 12
analogous to +/ and +/\ with the argument shortened to where the sum exceeds 10:
+/1 5 6
12
+/\1 5 6
1 6 12
as a verb:
f0 =: {{ 0 x&{{ y[1 Z: y > x }} F.. + y }}
10 f0 1 5 6 16
12
5 f0 1 5 6 16
6
100 f0 1 5 6 16
28
