If you leave the UK while your application is pending, it will be considered withdrawn and you lose the ILR fee paid. It applies to everyone with a pending application.

You were already advised that you did not qualify for long residence ilr due to excessive absence of more than 180 days, which broke your continuous residence. Why did you submit the application?
