Default Calculating time spent outside the UK

Hello.

While I have read many threads regarding application for FLR(M), we have some gaps between issue of BRP card and actually moving to the UK as a family unit. Hence would appreciate advice on how to calculate time spent in the UK.

Background :
- BRP issue date : 09/2019
- BRP expriy date : 06/2022
- Arrived in UK to collect BRP : 10/2019
- Returned to then country of residence to wind up life - kids to finish school term, husband to resign and give notice, pack and ship our stuff, put our flat on rent etc.
- I (sponsor) and kids moved to the UK on 7th March 2020. Husband was serving notice period and joined us on 24th March 2020. We had rental contract starting 2nd March 2020.
- Between collection of BRP in Oct 2019 and moving to the UK in March 2020, my husband did make a 10 days visit to rent a flat here.
- Need to apply for visa renewal around mid March ( approx 30 month from issue date of BRP & approx 24 months from moving into the UK) due to need to relocate within the UK in the summer , so do not want to leave this to the last minute and risk issues with new rental and school admissions.

Questions :
1. In the visa renewal form I have put in the start and end date of validity of the BRP card. When asked time lived in the UK for my husband, from which date do I calculate this? From from issue date of the BRP card / Oct 2019 when we came to collect the BRP / from March 2020 when we rented a house and moved here?
2. Time outside the UK - have you been out of the UK since you started living here? For this question, I assume the date we started living in the UK in our case would be March 2020. If not, when?

Thank you in advance.

For both questions it is the date your husband entered the UK on his spouse vignette in October 2019.
