Hi, I entered the UK on July 10th 2016 as the partner of a settled person (citizen)
In Feb 2019 I applied to extend my visa.
The expiry date on my current BRP is November 2021
However my 5 years will be up in July 2021. I don't understand why the permit is dated until November.
My question is do I submit ILR application (no earlier than) 28 days before July 10th?

They often grant a bit more than 30 months for a spouse visa. My first one was for about 31 months. Then if for the second one, you apply with a standard application, it can take a few months to decide. So you can end up with an extra month of eligibility, then 30 (or 31) months more, after the extra month, plus the time you had to wait, so can end up with a second visa that expires several months after your five years are completed.
Yes, you can apply as soon as you've completed five years, minus 28 days, regardless of when your permit expires.
