TLDR : Answer Summary

The change in investment visa requirements from 3 million to 10 million baht raises questions about the status of existing visas. Users discuss the likelihood of the 3 million baht investment visas being grandfathered in, suggesting that they may still be renewable despite the increase in the investment requirement.

Yes, except for the recent new rules about health insurance for non-immigrant OA visa. Even those who have an OA from way before 2019, must now have health insurance for an extension of stay...

and are you currently ON a yearly extension based on having an investment of 3 million that was grandfathered in or you just asking out of curiosity?
