In this lifetime

In the last scene he tried reaching for the One Power to light his pipe and found nothing here, much to his relief.
Which various abilities? He's just the strongest channeler of all, but not by much. He tested how much he could channel against Tiam and Logan, and found that they can hold nearly as much as he does. Being Ta'veren (spelling) doesn't make anyone live any longer.

I was referring to his normal Channeling (which you say he lost, so nm there) and his apparent monopoly on the True Source, which Im sort of default assuming is the sorce of some of the odder things we saw the Dark do.  There's also the example of that Dream-realm boogieman (blanking on his name, the one Perrin fought) that seemed to have achieved his own brand of longevity.

The Forsaken were able to live a hell of a lot longer than any normal channeler (though they were also caught in the Seal trap, so there's that).  I tend to think that at least one of the various abilities he has would be able to keep age at bay (given how mythically powerful he is otherwise, and how relatively easy it seemed to grant some form of immortality to the various evil minions).

I don't think the Forsaken lived any longer than was expected for a non-Oath Rod using channeler (potentially 600+ years); the 3000 years sealed in the Bore don't count, they were in suspended animation. The Forsaken were promised immortality if they won; they didn't yet have it.

Of course, some of them were recycled into new bodies, but that's different...

I'm not sure any of the evil minions were actually immortal either; gholam might be, since they're constructs like the Green Man who was around for 3000+ years, but I think the ones we see survived in stasis...

Given the cycle, statis is always possible. I thought there was at least the one Forsake that was supposed to never really be fully trapped (driven insane by it?) and the Dream-dude that I thought was implied to a survivor of the previous age?
