Depends on time you applied. IRCC decides the status based on application submission time in UTC.

You have 180 days from date of completion I believe to apply but if you lose status you have to apply for pgwp and restoration of status together.

I have applied at 10:25 pm PST on 29 April 2024. I have received my Letter of Completion on Feb 2 , 2024 but the date on the Letter of Completion is Jan 29, 2024. I don't know which date will they consider as first notice for the 90 day validity.

90 days is if your study permit has expired. 180 days from the day your school issued your final marks.

"If the application was received after midnight UTC on the date of expiry, the applicant does not maintain their status under subsection R183(5)."
"all applications must be submitted before midnight UTC on the date the applicant’s status expires"

22:30 pacific is 05:30 UTC on April 30th. Based on above, you had status at time of application.
