Answer summary
The E2 spouse visa issued to your Thai wife has a validity from February 15, 2024, to August 13, 2024, meaning she must enter the States within this period. After entering, her status will be valid until July 10, 2028, matching your 5-year E2 business visa, but she is limited to a six-month entry due to reciprocal agreements based on her nationality.

As a UK citizen, you can get a 60 month E2 visa on the basis of reciprocity. Since your wife is Thai, she can only get a six month visa - see the reciprocity table below. As noted elsewhere in the comments, this only affects when she can enter the US, not how long she can stay there.

15FEB2024 to 13AUG2024 is called a visa validity date. She has this timeframe only, to enter the states. Once she enters the visa will expire 10JUL2028. Hope this helps.
