The US has a presidential term limit of two terms; it doesn't matter whether or not the terms are consecutive. If you've served two terms, you can never again be President; if you haven't served two terms, you're perfectly able to run again.

Prior to the passage of the twenty-second amendment, Grover Cleveland served non-consecutive terms. So clearly it was legal then.
The amendment's text:
Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.
Section 2 is just about when the amendment will be considered ratified. That was satisfied, so we don't need to care about that or the second half of Section 1 (the one person covered under that is now dead).
So no person shall be elected more than twice. Nor may a person who was raised to the office from the vice-presidency for at least two years be elected more than once. The amendment says nothing about consecutive terms. It applies whether the person wants a third consecutive term or a non-consecutive term.
There is some dispute about whether someone could be appointed vice president after serving more than six years as president. If so, presumably that person could serve almost four years. But there's an argument that that should not be allowed.
