Does my 90-day reporting period reset upon re-entering Thailand on a Non-Immigrant O Visa after a trip abroad?

Hi folks. I'm pretty sure I already know the answer but have learned it's always best to confirm and re-confirm here in Thailand, especially when it comes to matters of immigration.

I moved here in February of this year. I have a Non-Immigrant O Visa and received an extension of stay based on retirement qualifications. My original reporting date was to be August of this year after receiving my extension in May. I made a trip back to the US recently and returned on June 30. My reporting notice that was put into my passport when I received my extension was removed and a TM6 was put in its place with my arrival date, which was June 30. From what I've read, the 90 days starts over once you re-enter the country. So if this is correct then my reporting date would be sometime during the last two weeks of September. Is this correct? TIA!!!

Bill

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user confirms their understanding that their 90-day reporting requirement restarts upon re-entering Thailand. They have a Non-Immigrant O Visa, extended based on retirement, and after returning from the US, they believe their new reporting date is in late September. Comments from the community confirm that re-entry resets the 90-day count, although there's a note regarding possible immediate reporting to the local immigration office upon re-entering.

Please note: some immigration jurisdictions expect you to report to the immigration office within 24 hours of reentering Thailand. Some immigration offices do not. This is not related to your 90 day report. It is advisible to check your Imm office policy on this issue

You are correct. You report when you are 90 days or longer in the country. By leaving earlier than 90 days, you start counting again as day of arrival being number 1.
