30-day Extension Start Date Question [RESOLVED - See reply]

I'm currently on a 6-month METV and currently stayed almost 8 months (exiting and returning before the validity period of the visa). 

Now, I am interested in doing the 30-day extension at Promenada. My most recent entry stamp is valid until August 30th. Do I have to extend on August 30th in order to maximize my time in Thailand, or would I still get 30 days starting from August 30th if I go to Promeda now and do the extension?

Answer summary

They seek clarity on whether to extend on the actual expiration date of their most recent entry stamp, August 30th, or to apply earlier at Promenada. A community member advises to apply early due to an upcoming holiday.
