The documents submission date at the insurance company was extended to one year because of covid but now it has been brought back to six months.

Is it correct to say "It has been brought back to previous time limit"?

I'm not sure why you said "to" in "to one year." I got rid of it because I think it makes more sense without it.

But I'm just guessing.

You can say a deadline has been extended by a year, to a new date.

I would state the dates to be precise.

I think "to" was right.

The deadline for submitting your documents used to be six months (from the date of treatment, presumably). Due to Covid, that deadline was extended to one year. It has now reverted to six months.
