Zero contact archives in iCloud

I'm wondering why, when I go to iCloud.com->Data Recovery->Restore Contacts, there are zero archives to restore from. I have iCloud set as the default contact account, and contacts are checked under Save to iCloud on my phone. What setting am I missing that is keeping contacts from being archived?

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 18

Prior to syncing to icloud were you syncing to your email account?

Log onto your mail account on a web browser and check if you see contacts there.
