Chain stretching constantly

Hello everyone, recently my O-Ring chain started stretching constantly, I have to adjust it 1 or twice a week, I put around 60km on it daily with a pillion, I clean it and lube it every other week with Repsol degreaser and Motul Off-Road grease (we get lots of rain and shitty roads around here), also check alignment with the Motion Pro alignment tool, I replaced the junk OEM chain with this one 10,000km ago more or less, it worked fine until now

I had to remove a pair of links because I ran out of thread on the adjusters.

What is the average lifespan of an O-Ring chain?
