When did they file that notice and why did they not inform you at the time?

If they didn’t inform you, you may have a reason to take them to court.

They demanded £460.16 from you, didn’t they?

Why don’t you demand £500 from them now?

You can see the date at the bottom is today's date so I assume they just realised they hadn't paid the fee so had no choice but to discontinue.

No, this is a deliberate tactic.
They take you to court hoping you screw up and don’t reply, in which case they apply for a default judgment against you.
If you file a defence, they wait until the last possible day and discontinue rather than paying the court fee.
They never had any intention of turning up at your local court and making a case against you.
They are unpleasant people who only want your money.

They take you to court because they want to frighten you into paying, you didn’t fall for that.

They take you to court because they hope you will ignore the court, and then they apply for a judgment in default, you didn’t fall for that.

They discontinue but don’t tell you, are you going to fall for that?

You can turn the tables on them and threaten them with a court hearing for not informing you, which you will discontinue for £hundreds, because they won’t want their cost of £hundreds to attend.

Thank you - they did inform me, albeit only after I asked but, as the notice of discontinuance was dated today, they would just say they were going to inform me. I think I've got the result I wanted, which is that the claim won't go ahead. Thank you for your helpful guidance all this time.
