I made my mob farm at height 200 and the collection area is on 70
There is no mob spawning, so where should I be idling so I get highest mob spawning rates as possible? I attempted to idle at the collection area but no mobs spawned so I presume I need to be closer? What is the maximum distance from the mob spawner that it'll still work?

Your idle area is 130 blocks from the mob spawner, which is just over the 128 block radius from the player outside of which mobs will not spawn:
You should move your idle area up to at least level 72 if you want to see any spawns at all, but I'd recommend having the idle area at y level 175 if you want to reduce the number of mobs despawning.
