On 14.08. around 9:30 p.m. I should put on the PolaRing vaginal system. I forgot about it and put it on today, i.e. 15.08 around 11:00 p.m. Is it good that I wore it at all? How should I behave now with taking it out - on the day it should be taken out counting from yesterday or from today? Do I need extra contraceptive protection this month?

You don't have to wait until 11 p.m. This can be done earlier. Such a difference will not affect the effectiveness of the puck.
And do I have to wait until 11:00 p.m. to put the puck in and take it out, or can I take it out and put it in a little earlier?

Yes, you can remove the disc on September 5 and apply a new one on September 12.
So the disc I put in (the one 24 hours late) I have to take out not on 4.09., but on 5.09.? Then put it on not 11.09., but 12.09?

It is good that you put on the ring despite the delay, but a delay of more than 24 hours may reduce the effectiveness of contraception. From the moment of insertion, a new 3-week cycle of use should be counted, i.e. the disc can only be removed after a full 3 weeks from 15.08.
To ensure protection, it is necessary to use additional protection (e.g. a condom) for the first 7 days of using this ring. If you have had unprotected intercourse in the last few days, there is a risk of pregnancy and you should consider taking a pregnancy test. Confirmation of the lack of pregnancy can be a pregnancy test performed about 10 days after intercourse, e.g.:
