Question 1 is tricky. I always wanted to ask but don't know how to get OFFICIAL answer. Dividend will surely drop in the future. No way it's going to stay the same forever.

So my question is:
1) Is there any limits when transferring from acc3 to acc2.
2) When they do announce drop in dividen, do we have enough time to transfer EVERYTHING from acc3 to acc2. How will the dividen be counted? Average fund over the year or the balance of the month before dividen is paid or how.

For people who control their financials well, I guess the safest is still to transfer acc3 to acc2 monthly and make sure acc3 is 0 every month? They better make it possible to do this easily from the app.

if they announced diff rate for flexi account
then yes ..you might burn few days of dividend

because kwsp dividen is based on daily aggr balance

Yes.
#4 - means you have existing home loan. You might plan to withdraw epf money so that you could reduce or clear the housing loan just to have the “feel good” factor of having less debt. Mathematically, epf is generating higher dividend rate than your home loan interest , so you should not withdraw for this purpose.

#8 - You do not have sufficient money to buy house/renovate, and if you found your ideal house now, it’s not a bad idea to take some of your epf money to procure an asset.

i do agree on the grace period

but how about subsequent/new contribution after the new announcement/adjustment?

as by default new contribution or new fund will be 75/15/10%

if no automated then let say u do the transfer every quarter .. then u might burn little bit on dividen (this is with assumption of internal transfer consider as "new" contribution then the collected dividen that park at acc3 will burn ; and restart it on acc2 (from the day it credit to acc2)
