are my messages from icloud downloading to my iphone

are my messages downloading? i have about 8.2gb of messages on icloud but they were not syncing correctly to my iphone, so i decided to click on disable and delete as it says that it will download the messages from icloud onto the iphone, my worry is that there is no indication if anything is downloading and the icloud storage already says 0kb, so my question is are my messages downloading? how long does it take?

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 17

Downloading messages How does one get copies of messages so they can the be removed and free up storage? I have seen a response to this question that says you cannot do this, however the iPhone itself indicates otherwise. I don’t know how to download messages but would like to. I went round and round from one apple page to another and to my iCloud account to no avail. So while it suggests me to download the messages so I can delete them and free up space, I can find no path to do so.
