Is there a minimum stay requirement for the 5-year soft DTV visa in Thailand?
If i get a 5 year soft dtv visa . But stay in thailand 1 year 3 months. Next year maybe 4 months. And 3rd year maybe 2 months. Is that a red flag? Will they stop me from entering because i do not stay in thailand at least 6 months every year on the soft dtv visa? Is it better and less expensive to get a multiple entry visa once a year for 5 years instead of a one time 5 year soft Dtv visa ??

No, what you described is using the visa as intended. Absolutely no problem with that. Assuming you have a course for the time you are in Thailand since it’s soft power.

No red flag you have a visa as long as it's used for the purpose you got it for.
