Back up files you can’t find

What happens if you backed and used iCloud than stopped and started back a year later. During this time you stopped you changed phones and couldn’t retrieve the old photos you backed up. If I start using iCloud again can I retrieve the old photos?

If you synced photos to iCloud, they should still be there (iCloud.com/photos to verify) provided you maintained your iCloud subscription or you synced less than 5GB of photos, videos, and backup data.
