Luke cut himself off from the Force entirely after Kylo's betrayal(which took place about 6 years before TFA/TLJ), and in his own words, went to the most unfindable place in the galaxy to die.
And it's not like he was doing any real soul-searching to try and further his spiritual enlightenment or w/e(like Kenobi did when he went to Tatooine), because when Rey found Luke, he was still emotionally broken and very much 'anti-Jedi'.

Just a thought- but isnt it possible that Luke might have chosen to cut himself off from the force well after Kylo's betrayal? So perhaps he wasnt cut off from it for the entire 6 years??
In Secrets of the Jedi, Luke implies that he cut himself off from the Force right after Kylo's betrayal, and remained that way for "years": https://i.imgur.com/lEfGKI2.jpg
And in The Rise of Kylo Ren, Luke's students were no longer able to sense him either: https://i.imgur.com/rd7Vkd5.jpg "You didn't sense our teacher or anyone else. Neither did I. Normally the whole Force sings with Master Skywalker's presence..."
So yeah, I think Luke went into 'Force-hiding' pretty much immediately after Kylo turned on him, and stayed that way until TLJ.

Yeah, they fully believed Kylo had killed Luke(who was obviously WAAAY more powerful than them), and Kylo himself casually owned them in the same issue. Why in the f*ck they still thought they'd be able to defeat him is beyond me.
