I don’t think the exact date matters that much. They just want your intended departure date based on your current plans. The important part is knowing you can’t stay beyond your permitted stay and that you’ll leave before the 180 days are up.

You plan to stay 180 day, than say 180 days, if you plan to apply for the 180 day Extension of Stay, you say 360 days.
