How has your EEA sponsor (your family member) been exercising their Treaty rights in the UK during your 5 year qualifying period?

Working?

Studying or self-sufficient and holding Comprehensive Sickness Insurance (CSI) ?

Its not a visa that you have and you are not applying for 'indefinite' leave as you are on EU route not the UK migration route.
Simply follow guidance for confirmation of PR.

Thanks all of you
My wife is working and iam working too during all this 5 years no gap .regarding documents everything's should be fine .
Well is temporary residence .
My question is can I apply one month before my permit expired .or should be more then that .

You don't have a permit and you can't apply for a permanent residence card before you reach 5 years. It doesn't matter if your RC expires, you can simply get another one.

You should get it into your head that you are not on a visa and as a family member of an EEA national, your right to live and work in the UK is entirely dependent on your sponsor's economic activity, not any documentation (which itself is not mandatory).
