As per this article https://support.apple.com/kb/PH27917?locale=en_US&viewlocale=en_US

Look for your recovered files in the folders they were in when you deleted them. For example, if a file was in the Pages folder when you deleted it, look for the recovered file in the Pages folder.

You can recover files you deleted from iCloud Drive in the last 30 days, whether you deleted them on iCloud.com, your iOS device, your Mac, or your Windows computer. However, you can’t recover files you permanently removed as described in Permanently remove deleted files on iCloud.com.

Also after 30 days files are automatically deleted from the iCloud server .
