Operation Start Date:03/05/2024
Operation End Date:09/01/2025

Not sure about that 2024 date given the narrative says between March 2025 and September 2025.

SpaceX seeks authority to mount and operate Starlink earth stations on the Super Heavy booster and Starship spacecraft for multiple upcoming Starship-Super Heavy test flights between March, 2025 and September, 2025. These flights will originate at Starbase, TX and are expected to reach peak altitudes of approximately 300 km. These missions will allow SpaceX to test high-data-rate communications with the Starship spacecraft and the Super Heavy booster on the ground at the launch site in Starbase, TX, during launch, in-flight operations, booster recovery, and spacecraft entry. SpaceX’s satellite constellation can provide unprecedented volumes of telemetry and enable communications during atmospheric entry when ionized plasma around the spacecraft inhibits conventional telemetry frequencies.

I am not sure about interpreting this: It is possible they have such a permit to 4th March and are just extending this so it says nothing about flight 8 date. However it is also possible that the earliest possible date for a launch is now considered to be 5th March having slipped a week from the previous earliest estimate of 24 Feb 2025.

Not sure when they filed that but 24 Feb is likely earliest they thought possible and a 5 day delay seems very easily possible or more likely probable
