How do I get my tabs back after restore from backup?

As per my convo with Apple Support, I temporarily reset my phone to see if an unrelated issue would resolve if I did not have my data. I saved a backup of my phone on my laptop. When I restored my phone, I no longer had any of my tabs. I have Safari synching to iCloud, so I don’t know why I didn’t get them back. Any advice?

iPhone 11, iOS 18

My open Safari tabs didn't copy across during a backup/restore I had a lot of open tabs in Safari on my iPhone 6s, which I had to backup and restore to an SE (2nd Gen) recently due to breaking the screen. I restored from backup today, and there are no tabs on Safari, it is completely empty. Why were the tabs not included in the backup? Is there a way to restore them?

All my tabs are gone after an OS update I have over 200+ tabs open (don't judge me, I was dealing with something personal and like the chaos) the night before, but the next day it's all gone. I thought that it would all be in the recently closed section but they're not. And this was after an update. Now I lost every tabs with no idea which ones were open since they're clearly not in the recently closed tab. I thought about the backups but the problem is that the last time I backed up my iPad was a month ago? Maybe even longer? And I can't afford to lose anything more now.
