It’s been a year and just need a quick reminder. For the proof of funds… other than a letter from the bank that certified fund of 500k over a 3 month period… do I need to print copies of the updates on my bank book? Can I also assume that the bank letter is valid as long as it’s within 24hours of visa renewal. Thank you all.

TLDR : Answer Summary
When renewing a Thai visa, it's important to provide proof of funds, typically a bank letter certifying at least 500,000 THB over a three-month period. You should also submit a full year bank statement and current bank book copies, ensuring the bank letter is issued within 7 days of the visa renewal. While some argue that the more documents you provide, the better, these essentials are generally required for a guardian, retirement, or marriage visa.

you don't need a full year statement, only one that is proof of two months seasoning.

It’s 3 months on a guardian extension renewal. 1 month for the 1st year extension. Then three months prior to following year extensions.

For what extension are you applying? From the sounds of it a guardian extension, but just need to know if that’s the case.

Yes funds in for 3 months prior to applying. They’ll want your bank book updated and probably the last three months of bank statements. The bank letter should be within 7 days, but some offices have specific rules.
