Does the Underlying Asset’s Price Movement Influence the Acceleration Rate?

The underlying asset's price movement does not directly change the mathematical acceleration rate of Theta decay, which is a function of time. However, price movement changes the option's moneyness , which in turn affects the option's Theta value.

If the price moves the option to ATM, its Theta will be higher and decay faster than if it remains deep OTM.
