Not all iMessages transferred over to new phone from iCloud backup

I recently got an IPhone XS, I restored from an iCloud backup on my old phone. My iMessages are saved in iCloud but only some of the messages come through on my new phone mostly really old texts. How can I get the rest of my messages on the new phone? Everything else transferred over (apps/photos/etc)

What does iCloud back up? - Apple Support


Keep all your messages in iCloud - Apple Support


Not sure what saved in icloud means, but those 2 links will lead you in the right direction.
