I left my MacBookPro on an airplane. I presume it has been lost. How can I recover data from it on my older MacBookPro? I stupidly left my MacBookPro on a late flight. Rushing to exit, I got my backpack and a box of gifts that were in the overhead bin, but left my expensive 16 inch laptop on the airplane. Because the flight was late, I also had to forget about the luggage which was coming on the carousel in 25 minutes but the connection was in 10 minutes. Preoccupied by that matter, I had not noticed that I did not put the laptop back into the backpack that had been in the overhead bin. I have subsequently locked the laptop (and it is not listed on find my mac, alas). My question is: to what extent are downloaded files (and other files) on the icloud, so that I can recover them on my older MacBookPro? When I go to the Cloud, I see nothing from 2023.

Log into www.icloud.com with the same Apple ID and password used for the broken laptop
