TLDR : Answer Summary
To maintain eligibility for a one-year extension of a retirement visa in Thailand, you must keep 800,000 THB in your bank account for three months following your application. After this period, you can reduce the balance to 400,000 THB but must restore it to 800,000 THB two months prior to applying for a new extension.

Almost.

Banked money for a 1-year extension for being over 50.

800K baht must be in your account for three months AFTER a new one-year extension application.

Keep it no lower than 400K baht through the rest of the year.

Then again You need to have 800K baht in your account for two months when applying for a new 1-year extension.
