Latest day to apply for spouse of BC?

Hi everyone I've just got my FLR(M) and now preparing for ILR and BC.
I'd like to ask whether there is the a deadline to apply for naturalisation?

I entered UK on 20 Jun 2015, I was told I could apply for ILR 28 days prior to 5 years so that will be end of May 2020. My problem is I was on holiday 11-19Jun 2017, so I have no idea whether I must apply for naturalisation right after ILR? I want to carefully avoid that absence 3 years prior to application.

Thank you very much.

There is no deadline for naturalisation. As long as you have ILR and comply with all the other requirements you can apply on the date of your choice, even years from now.
