Recovered messages not fully restored on iPhone

I had several message threads I deleted for about a week. When they were originally deleted it said, “14k messages.” I restored, and not all of the messages came back. Now if I delete, it’ll say there’s only “500 messages.” They only came back up until early May. iCloud backup is not turned on for messages.

what can I do to restore these messages? I was not under the impression that the messages app and deleting messages restores off a back up?

Original Title: recovered messages

Deleted message stays in the deleted folders for 30 days then it is gone.

No backup no recovery.

And no backup no recovery.
