How is 2yhrr calculated?

I had 212e 2yhrr starting Aug 2019 (3 years ago) and I went back to my home country. During COVID I lived in Turkey on and off as I was working remotely. Now I have a clear path to immigration as my partner is a US citizen and we are ready to get married.

My question is I did the rough calculation today with my passport stamps and it turned out my total days in my home country are somewhere around 703 out of 3 years. Am I f*c*ed? Do they not count the days you took international trips as a tourist? All this time I did not come to the US. I always thought my 2yhrr was long gone.

Has anyone been in a similar situation?
 
Can you apply for a waiver if you can’t for some reason return home to make up the rest of the days? Were you on a Fulbright?
