ILR application- priority service

Hello, sorry if this topic is already opened somewhere- I am new to this forum and hoping to get help.
I applied online for my ILR (set M) 5 year route, when I got the email to book an appointment with the UKVCA it did not give me the priority service option and I realised that this is done through the gov website so I withdrew my application and I created a new one last week. However I have been refreshing the page every hour of the day at midnight or 1:00am with no success. This is the screenshot of the page where i am at, it does not even highlight that this is a regular service, or have a button with a black dot something I have seen on other people’s application; it simply states that :

You are paying

2408.20 GBP - Mr xxxx's application for Set(M)

2408.20 GBP in total
.
1- Am i on the the wrong page or is it that rare or hard to get the priority service nowadays?
2- My BRP will expire on the 5th of March 2022, if I did not get the priority service I am planing to submit my online application on the 3rd of March - is it okay that my appointment will be booked for when my BRP expired?

1- Am i on the the wrong page or is it that rare or hard to get the priority service nowadays? Priority option is posted based on availability and capacity of the team handling each type of application. This is stated severally on the forum.
2- My BRP will expire on the 5th of March 2022, if I did not get the priority service I am planing to submit my online application on the 3rd of March - is it okay that my appointment will be booked for when my BRP expired? It is OK, date of application is when you submit and pay online, biometrics appointment can be after this with no worries.

Thank you for replying, I of course had seen people complaining about not finding priority service just did not realise how hard it is to actually get one. I was more worried about the fact that my Biometric card will expire before I get to the appointment now that I probably won’t get the super priority service

It's OK, your appointment can be after BRP expiry, just ensure to submit BEFORE EXPIRY.

I have submitted my application exact midnight 00.01 for LR with super priority, I got it without any stress in one go.
You should try it by refreshing your page from 11.59pm. Good luck
