What should I do about my Non-O visa extension application that is still under consideration before my visa expires?

ORIGINAL POSTERHey everyone,
Currently, I'm on a 90-day Non-O visa that expires on July 22nd, this coming Monday, which coincidentally is also a public holiday from what I understand.
Back on June 10th, I applied for a 1-year extension at the Phuket immigration office. It's been 5 weeks now, and my visa application is still pending. (Under Consideration)
Today, my partner went to check on the status and was advised to bring my passport on Tuesday the 23rd for stamping, starting from the 22nd, which was my previous visa expiration date.
I have a question: when you submit documents for a Non-O 1-year visa extension and it's still under consideration, do you still risk overstaying, even though it's ultimately up to immigration to make the final decision whenever that may be?
Appreciate any advice or insights you may have.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is concerned about the risk of overstaying their visa while their one-year extension application for a Non-O visa is still under consideration, with the expiration date looming on a public holiday. Community members reassure them that, as long as the application is under consideration, they will not be considered to have overstayed, provided they have the appropriate documentation from immigration.

You can't go on overstay while you're application is under consideration. Just go back to immigration when they told you to

No problem if you are under consideration.
Just return when it's approved and get stamped.
No overstay if it's not ready, if there was a problem you would already know.
Nothing to be concerned about.

so I guess i would be on a bridging visa till a decision is made by immigration. I was concerned since my 90days non-o expires on Monday and they asked me to go in on Tuesday which is a day after my current stamp. Which theoretically would have put me on an overstay on different type of visa.

@Erid *******
the decision is basically already made, you are just waiting for "head office" to finish the process.This happens all the time and usually within a day or two it's sorted.
You are technically in "limbo" on your extension.
It's no concern.

You don't need to worry about overstay during your under consideration period. You should have an under consideration stamp in your passport and a blue receipt you received from immigration when you paid. Both of these should make you okay.
