Aug 30, 2020 at 23:08 comment added flinty For 2D you could try a shrinking disk using a polar substitution f[x+x0, y+y0] /. {x -> r Cos[θ], y -> r Sin[θ]} and then take the limit as r->0. If the result is dependent on θ or not a constant function then the limit is indeterminate, otherwise it should work. The same should work for a shrinking sphere in 3D. ^ Note: this assumes the f is continuous on the disks everywhere except the point x0,y0
Aug 30, 2020 at 22:15 comment added Hausdorff The problem here is that Limit only gained the functionality for multi-dimensional limits in version 11.2, so in version 11 you can only consider the limit along parametrized paths. I am not sure how exactly to replace this functionality, since multi-dimensional limits are not easy to compute, as existence of the limit along a path does not prove the multi-variate limit exists (check e.g. this question)
