Absences between application and biometrics

Hello, I am going to apply for the UK citizenship as an EU citizen. At the time of my application, my absences over the 5 years will have been exactly 480 days.

Can I travel abroad after submitting the application online without this travel counting towards the overall absences?

Or do I need to stay in the country until after submitting the biometrics to avoid going over the limit?

Thank you.

Application date is not biometrics day, but the day you get confirmation of submitting online application.
So absences "between" do not count.
