Once DTV has been issued are you able to travel before the date you told them you was traveling on?
Answer summary
Once you receive your DTV (Digital Tourist Visa), you are permitted to travel to Thailand before the initial date you provided during your application. The visa becomes effective immediately upon issuance, allowing entry at any time thereafter.

I think on DTV the 5 year clock starts ticking down soon as it's approved. 🤔

All Thai visas are effective as of the date they are issued. You can enter Thailand with your DTV from the moment it is issued.
