HSP points change during stay of effect?

Hi everyone, I’m wondering if gaining points after having been issued a HSP visa changes the permanent residency application time threshold.

Example: One receives their HSP with N2 and an overall score of 75 points. They pass N1 during their first year in Japan which would add 5 points to their score = 80 points.
Would they still have to wait 3 years to apply for Permanent Residency or would that be shortened to 1 year due to having passed N1? Would it not matter because it happened after their visa was first issued? Just curious
