Unless you renounce or IRCC revokes it, it’s always valid. The bigger question would be do you meet residency obligation. Being out of Canada for so long, you are, at a minimum probably very close to being outside of compliance. And remember, the RO requirements are different after the first renewal. You need to have 730 days in Canada (counting backwards from today) for the previous 5 years.

Do you know where i find information on the 'counting backwards from today' component? I cant find information anywhere on what date is utilised to count the 730 days?

Here's a government site that describes the obligation well. Rolling means that at any given time, you must be able to look back at the previous five years and have spent at least two of those years in Canada.
