Is it ok to have just slightly over 913 days inside the US when applying for N400 to satisfy the physical presence test?

I have a green card since fall 2017. I plan to apply next summer for Naturalization, since in my case I to wait 4 years and 9 months after getting the green card before I can apply for Naturalization. I'll submit the N-400 Application for Naturalization Form.

My question pertains to the requirement of the physical presence in the U.S. I read that one must be physically present in the U.S. for at least one half of the 5 years, which amounts to at least 5*365/2=913 days in the US.

Is it ok to have just slightly over 913 days inside the US when applying for N400 to satisfy the physical presence test in the U.S.? (for example, 930, 1000 or 1100 days spent inside the US within the past 5 years)

I don't know whether having exactly 913 days outside the US or any number of days higher than that automatically satisfies the physical presence in the U.S. or whether the USCIS has some subjectivity here (the same way the USCIS has some subjectivity for the continuous residence requirement requirement).

Assume that I satisfy the continuous residence requirement (which is different from the physical presence requirement): I didn't make any trip longer than 179 days outside the US, only two of my trips were longer than 100 days, I made sure to have at least 1 month between each trip, and I'm going to different countries (almost never to my hometown, and 1 years and 6 months is the cumulative time I spent in the country I mostly frequently flew to).
