Yes, if you apply for Settled Status before completing 5 years of continuous residence, your application is likely to be rejected. You must wait until you have officially completed 5 years before submitting your application.
Since your 5 years will be complete in June, you should apply on or after the exact date you reached 5 years of continuous residence. Applying even a few days early could result in rejection.
If you want to check your exact eligibility date, you can use the UK Government's online tool for the EU Settlement Scheme: 🔗 Apply for Settled Status
