If you use messages in iCloud, then deletions are permanent and there is no recovery - Keep all your messages in iCloud - Apple Support


If you don’t use messages in iCloud, then messages are part of your iCloud backup. But each daily backup to iCloud over-writes the previous one. There is no archive of older iCloud backups. So the only way to recover those messages would be if you have not backed up to iCloud since you deleted them.
