I got my 12 Pro Max today, set up from iCloud backup, and everything was set up and synced quickly and all seemed is well. The only issue is in the messages app, it’s been stuck at ‘downloading messages from iCloud’ for hours now without any change. All messages seem to be there in the overview, but media (photos and videos) within the messages are not downloaded. I have been able to manually go into each message, click on the i icon, and manually download media for each pretty quickly, but the banner in the landing page is still stuck. Any suggestions?

ive tried restarting the phone multiple times, tried turning messages off and on in iCloud settings, even tried hard reset and restore from backup again but with no change.
(This is my first time posting here so I apologize in advance if I do something wrong)
