Several mm of render, Inc base & top coat. Still room left over, visible seal & expansion/articulation capability. I don't believe this was done. Photos with more focus & different angles would help. An easy to view example is facade windows. The sills should be very shy of the frame underneath. The seal underneath is 10mm+, and the sill should be built another 5 below that.
