What is the policy at Jomtien immigration office for applying for a COVID extension before the current one expires?

Ok everyone, I just finished at Jomtien immigration and I have some answers. Yes they “approved it” (under consideration stamp), but it didn’t feel standard. I’ll explain. So I went in right at 8:30 when they opened. The gentleman at the counter looked at my current visa extension stamp and said “it doesn’t expire until October 12”. I explained that bkk issued a message saying you could apply up to 45 days early. I also showed him the image below that I grabbed here or on Thai visa. He looked at it a brief moment then let me through. I’d say he seemed hesitant but ok with it. I was going to explain the current covid extension program might not be renewed but it never came to that. The rest of the process was fairly standard. Filled out the forms, made my copies, gave them all that plus my photo and they gave me a number. When my number was called I sat right down. No wait. They reviewed it quickly, I paid 1900 and was asked to have a seat. 5 minutes later they called me back up and showed me my under consideration stamp and asked me to return on 12 October my current expiration date for my new 60 day stamp. My advice is to go early, be super polite and have your documents in order. Hopefully this information is helpful and the fact that I did it means it’s less new for the next people that go and try. Again, at first he seemed hesitant, but after my brief explanation they were great as always. Good luck everyone! 🙏🏼🙇🏻‍♂️
