Green card holder 1 year away from applying for citizenship. Can I stay out of the US for more than 6 months?

Hey all I am a green card holder who is eligible to apply for citizenship next year.

I applied for a F2A visa for my wife and I am currently visiting her for a few months as the application is still being processed.

I left the US on July 1st, and was wondering if it would be a good idea for me to stay till Jan 1st (our anniversary) and fly out on jan 2nd. This crosses the 6 month threshold by 1 day, and I have not travelled for more than 3 months total since I received my greencard (last travel was 2019 and 2017).

Do you know if this will make the citizenship application harder for me? does the time to apply reset at that point and I have to wait 5 years again?

Thanks!

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
