I have some past overstays to my name: one 2-day period and one 3-day period. Could this lead to a refusal to grant me a DTV visa?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The community responses suggest that minor past overstays (such as 2 or 3 days) are unlikely to significantly affect a DTV visa application. Several individuals shared their experiences, indicating that previous overstays were not major concerns for consulates during the application process, as long as they are addressed and disclosed. Ultimately, the decision may rest with the immigration officer reviewing the application.
One guy posted in here he had a 1 year ban for overstay and still got DTV. 1 year ban means a 90 day overstay. Yours will not be a blocking point

I had two day overstay before going to Laos to apply for DTV. My ED visa was not cancelled and I was not allowed to leave Thailand until I cancelled it.
Prior to that I had one day overstay six years ago as my Thai partner could not cross the border due to the counter being closed.
Consulate didn’t even mention it. I did query it with them at the end of the interview and the interviewer explained it was not a concern for the consulate, only relevant to immigration.
Edit:
I did write an additional letter after the covering letter to explain the two day overstay. So they were already aware of it as part of the DTV application. All documents were approved within two days.
