Cannot retrieve deleted photos from iCloud, despite the 30 days rule.

My daughter deleted the pictures from my iPhone, under the impression that those would still be available to be retrieved from the iCloud.

Was she wrong? Are my pictures lost forever? I could not retrieve them, despite the 30 days rule....

Please help!

iPhone 6, iOS 12

If photos were deleted from recently deleted album they probably can't be restored.

Have you confirmed that you have enough iCloud storage?

If you don't, the photos you delete might be gone straight away without "recently deleted" stop in between but there should be a message informing about that
