How to download complete Messages from iCloud or iPhone?

Under iCloud storage this is what the message reads "If you want to stop using Messages in iCloud and recover your iCloud storage, you can disable it on all your devices. You then have 30 days to download your messages." Does anyone have the steps on how to download complete message threads?

Trying to download messages from the cloud onto my computer. I do not see Messages in iCloud or seem to have the ability to read Message while at my iCloud.com. I do back Messages up to iCloud.
