Accidentally deleted entire text conversation

I accidentally deleted a text message conversation which had information I need last night. I tried to back-up my phone to an old iCloud backup to a couple days previously where the thread still existed but it is still not there. Any advice??

iPhone XR, iOS 14

If you had messages in iCloud turned on Keep all your messages in iCloud - Apple Support and those messages were deleted, then they are permanently gone. If that feature wasn't turned on, you can restore from a backup -- Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support.
