[Star Wars] Why didn't Anakin just leave the Jedi Order? What was stopping him?

I just rewatched Revenge of the Sith and it looked like Anakin really wasn't mandated to stay. In addition, Ashoka Tano just straight up left without any ceremony.

He wasn't mandated to stay at all - but that was his problem. He wanted to stay but also wanted to do everything the council said not to do. And in current canon he expressed leaving as early as just three years after he joined. He never went through with it, but that's ultimately for a variety of personal reasons.
