Can I re-use the OPT extension time for another masters

I am currently in my 11th month of OPT and about to file for extension. I plan to stop working and move to H4 before opt extension. If I pursue one masters program next year, can I use the my OPT extension period after my next masters? In that case does it matter if I apply or don’t apply for my OPT extension?

You will get a new OPT + Extension (if it’s a STEM program, and if this admin doesn’t shut down the extensions) for the new masters program.

One degree one OPT, if you pursue a same degree, master to master, no more OPTs after the second one. You should consult details to your DSO

Consult with attorney or DSO. Amazon is correct. One masters one OPT as far as I know.
