how can you tell if your protein powder is stale? and if it is somewhat stale but still tastes good does it lose its potency?

i dont think powder goes stale, unless you have had it for like 4 years after only using twice. Check the expiration date on the tub or can.

As long as it's sealed properly and not kept in constantly changing temperatures, it should be fine; unless its 4-5 years old. Like the above post, check the expiration date.

The powder may have just begun to settle once you stopped opening it and scooping some out on a daily basis. Start using it, it should unsettle if you start using it again ..... I would assume ...
