Theres some confusion going on between the “free” 30 minutes and the “not free” 30 minutes. The “free” 30 being referenced is the 30 minutes between the PWA scheduled duty day limitation and the actual FAR 117 FDP limitation. Then you have the 30 minutes of 117 extension that is repeatable but is an actual FDP extension.
