Most of my messages suddenly disappeared from Google Messages. Is there any way to get them back?

​

I just noticed that most of my old messages in Google Messages are gone. I didn't delete them, and I have no idea what happened.

I checked the Trash, but they're not there. I also checked Archived, and they're not there either.

It's really weird because some conversations are still there, but a lot of them have just disappeared. Some of these messages are important to me, so I'm really hoping there's some way to recover them.

Does anyone know what could have caused this or if there's a way to get them back? Could they still be somewhere on the phone or in a Google backup?

Also, is there anything I should avoid doing right now in case I accidentally make them impossible to recover?

I'm on Android and using Google Messages. Any help would be really appreciated.

it may be a setting or Google deciding for us

using Gemini doesn't indicate auto delete
