Indefinite leave to remain: Continuous residence

Hi, I need some advise regarding absences from the UK :?

I've been on a Tier 2 visa for almost 5 years and can apply for Indefinite leave to remain soon. I understand that no more than 180 days of absences are allowed in a consecutive 12-month period.

In the last 12 months, I spent a continuous 150 days working from my own home country (this was during the first UK Covid lockdown), and a few other shorter holidays. In total over 12 months, my total absence is just under 180days. My question is: Am I still required to provide supporting documents with my application? For example employer letter approving my remote-working arrangement? Or should this be OK considering I havent gone over 180days?

Thanks.

It is not about below or above 180days, all absences should be disclosed.
