Recent DTV Softpower Re-entry?

We are nearing our 180 mark and planning to leave for at least 10-14 days. We have proof of funds, etc, just wondering if anyone has had a recent re-entry experience to share. Is there any validity to the claim 2 weeks is seen as border bounce or it’s a negative with immigration? Please be kind. Thank you. 🙏

Ensure you're still registered / signed up for your course or a new one, if possible avoid entry into Phuket.

Never had any comments when entering on DTV with short visit out of Thailand. You have a valid visa and haven’t broken any rule
