If you qualify for the physical presence test, you can use the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion for 2020 by using different qualification dates (you must be outside the U.S> for 330 days in a 365 day period, but it does not have to be a calendar year).  By using an October 2019 to October 2020 qualifying period, you will be able to exclude the income prorata, and not disqualify you for the five year period.
