desiccant pack life span?

So i have a few 5 gram silica desiccant packs. I worry about them absorbing moisture and not being able to absorb anymore. Making them obsolete. So i put them in the dehydrator for a few hours to dry them out again. Do these silica packs have a life span? Is it ok for me to put them in the dehydrator and use them again?

They really should only be used with already dry material. So reactivation becomes less of a need.

I had to do it because I forgot to close the bag one day and they'd all be ruined if not for the reactivation.

 mine have been in the bag ripped open in the cabinet since i bought them lol
you're telling me they pry have all been dead that I toss in my jars with dried mush???
Is there anyway to tell if they are good or not?
you say 5 gram packs right? So if mine are the same, can i just weigh them to see if they took on anything?

desiccant bag was left open overnight, so I baked them for 1.5hours and sealed them back up.
Camera, I'd say they're definitely compermised if the bag has been open, all the moisture in the air surrounding would be absorbed. Sorry to say. I don't know about weighing, I can weigh one for you for reference if you want but I'd always go for playing it safe.
Mine are the 5gram.

Time to store a new ordered batch in a mason jar or something
