How to calculate permitted absence time before Settled Status lapses?

Hi all
Settled Status allows the holder to spend 5 years outside the uk without losing the status, but this 5 years is not clearly defined so i would like some clarity please.
If I spend 4.5 years outside, then 1 month inside UK, then another 4 years outside, will I lose the status?
Does that 1 month residence in the UK reset the 5 years clock?
