I’m not too sure because I’m not completely sure how DateTime() works so this is an assumption.

When you call

$date = get_field('last_date', false, false);
$date = new DateTime($date);

there is not time so date/time is the value of the day at 00:00:00 (midnight)

But when you call
$currentdate = new DateTime(); this uses the default of “now” which has a time and because of the $currentdate will always be greater than $date except on the same day. Try setting $currentdate without a time formatted the same as what get_field() is returning.

$currentdate = new DateTime(date('Ymd'));
