Will I only receive a 2-day extension if I stay in a hotel for just two nights for TM30 reporting?

hi. as read in threads here, as i failed to fill tm30 at the beginning of my stay, i will go tomorrow staying 2 nights in a cheap hotel so they fill one for me. i was warned by this hotel receptionist though that since i will only stay two nights that, based on this tm30, i will be only granted 2 days extension max. is that true ? if yes what do i need to do? give proof of my following month bookings aswell ?

thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is concerned about whether staying in a hotel for only two nights will limit their visa extension to just two days based on the TM30 registration. A commenter suggests that this is not true; having a TM30 receipt should allow for a 30-day extension for tourism purposes regardless of the hotel stay duration.

[edited] That is totally made-up story. As long as you have a TM30 receipt your extension will be 30 days for tourism purposes, regardless of the length of stay at that address. Just make sure "checkout date" field is not past date or it's open.

Or just submit now with the address where you currently are staying. There is no rule like that you can submit TM30 only once with the same address.
