Fortunately, that's easy to do.
I just looked at my record of oil changes and saw that I've had it and the filter changed fairly frequently:
07-30-18 1,972
11-07-18 5,823
06-04-19 6,462
11-29-19 9,656
10-16-20 10,652
10-14-21 12,760
07-11-22 15,054
06-29-23 22,246
The first four had to do with changing the oil around track days. The fifth through the seventh were annual changes during the pandemic, when the car wasn't driven much.
With the last change, I lost track of what I was generally wanting to do. That was change intervals at around 5K. It was an eleven-month change, but if I'd been paying closer attention, I would have had the oil and filter changed around 5K and not on the annual interval I'd adopted during the pandemic.
