Connected multiple phones to same iCloud. Went from 1000 contacts to almost none. No archive on iCloud. Old old archive on iTunes and wouldn’t be feasible to restore.

If you had not back up iPhone through iCloud back up https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT203977

You can't restore it https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT204184

So when the contacts were deleted from an iPhone and all devices connected ( signed in with same Apple ID and password ) https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT207207

They can't be recovered .
