old messages won't load onto new macbook

Bought new MacBook Air, trying to sync messages. I have followed the instructions to enable iCloud, and all the boxes are checked. New messages are working fine, but past conversations have only loaded sporadically—some through Sept 2020, some only through December 2019. Any suggestions welcome.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.1

If you have a rather large history of Messages then it will take some time for your MacBook Air to synch with iCloud. Give it time and eventually the messages will catch up.
