No.
Messages are either in iCloud, or in backups, and there’s no easy way to restore messages from a backup short of restoring the iPhone.
For USD$0.99 per month, this problem goes away, at least for a while.

Again, no.
Acquire more iCloud, or delete some of the conversations.
This is the mirror of the how-can-I-restore deleted conversations, and there’s no good option there, either.
Backups can save messages, but restoring those requires restoring the entire device.

Just to be clear, iCloud is not a back up service. It is for sharing between computers, people and devices. And, as you can see in your illustration we can select specifically what we want to be shared via iCloud. For back up and restoration, you will need to set up a back up process. If you haven't already done so, get an external drive to use for back ups and you can use Time Machine or other apps to schedule back ups. Otherwise, it's only a matter of time until you will loose your data.
Understood.
BUT, I want to save all my MESSAGES, then delete them to save / create space...can see in my illustration had taken up most of my space. Question is can I upload them to my mac first them delete to make space?
Thanks
