Home sale partial exclusion

Purchased home in 1998. Lived in the home for 13 years. Lost my job in January 2011. In April 2011 I found a private sector job overseas (more than 50 miles away). To cover costs we had to rent our home while overseas. I lost my overseas job and returned to USA in November 2021. The home was still rented when we returned, so we settled in a new location and then sold the home in April 2022.  Since my job circumstances required me to move overseas and then relocate, is there an opportunity to claim a partial exclusion to reduce capital gains.
