Oops you’re right, it’s 8 yrs.
Snowy, the problem is that you can’t go in. And they don’t answer their phones. Or call you back. Online is the only way to get anything done, and even then everything is extremely delayed.

We don't get the same privilege as regulars.

Oregon has licenses that are good for 20 yrs or something like that. And your endorsements are printed on it. So if you let your HM lapse, and the state knows when that happens, they want you to contact them for them to send you an updated license, or else for 15 more years youde have a license with the HM endorsement printed on it but not actually valid. Unfortunately, one can’t waltz into dmv and take care of that nowadays. But the irony (?) is that the one administrative function they can still perform well is cancel your license. Fortunately, the background clearance folks that the HM people use are private businesses and not govt employees. So they happily answered their phone and took my money to redo my clearance. Then they sent the dmv my new clearance and, cross your fingers, dmv will update my license in their system and the actual one in my wallet remains valid.
Did I mention cross your fingers? : )

By federal law, Hazmat endorsement is only supposed to be good for five years from the date the hazmat license is issued. My birthday is in October. When I got my hazmat and renewed my CDL in Tx in August of 2006, on the back of my license it stated the the hazmat endorsement expired in August of 2011, even though my CDL didn't expire until my birthday in October.
§383.141
(d) Hazardous materials endorsement renewal cycle. Each State must require that hazardous materials endorsements be renewed every 5 years or less so that individuals are subject to a Transportation Security Administration security screening requirement referenced in paragraph (b) of this section at least every 5 years.

Well as predicted I received the systems auto generated letter saying mine expired. I called Ohio DOT to confirm and they assured me that they are following the FMCSA extension to May 31st and to disregard the letter. I'm in great shape don't need it but I'll take it anyway just because.
