I signed out of my icloud, signed back in and realized I did not back up notes into icloud. Is it gone forever?

The notes under On my iphone are all gone. My icloud backups only go back as far as November 2020. I was wondering if there is a way to retrieve these deleted notes from November to now. There is no recently deleted folder and my emails are all synced to Notes and icloud. I remember skipping to backup data from notes and some other apps before logging out previously and I think that's why they are gone. Are they gone forever?

Also, if I purchase an icloud subscription, will I be able to access these disappeared notes?

Notes aren't part of the icloud backup. What does iCloud back up? - Apple Support

they are synced to whatever mail or cloud system you used, if you have that turned off, then the notes are gone.
