Continuous residence requirement for spouse of British citizen

Hi,
My wife got a Spouse visa from 23/08/2016 - 23-05-21019 based on my British citizenship and she entered to the UK on 19/09/2016.
She went to India for maternity (25-03-2017 to 23-01-2018- Total -303 days) . Again second time she went to India (05-09-18 to 10-11-18 Total- 65 days).
a few months back she got her visa extension from 16-05-2019 to 07-12-2021.
Could anybody please suggest what is an eligible date to apply ILR? do we need to go for another extension (She was out from the UK more than 180 days in a year)?

Thank you very much in Advance.

Regards,
Kumar

She qualifies no sooner than within 28 days before 19 September 2021.
(She was out from the UK more than 180 days in a year)?
There is NO absence limit for spouse settlement visa holders. The rule only applies to PBS routes.
