Yes it’s backed up to iCloud, there’s enough storage place, I’ve reset it. Why can’t apple get this right???

Were the messages part of a backup or were you using messages in iCloud - Keep all your messages in iCloud - Apple Support? If it's the former, then you can restore from a backup which will restore the messages.

Have you tried restarting the device or signing out and back in?

Yes they were backed ** by iCloud. I have all important things in the phone set to automatically back up so I wouldn’t go through this. It’s been 3 days and it still says “Downloading messages from iCloud” . It’s frustrating, I’m missing important texts. Smh.
