WhatsApp Chat History Lost After Forced Restore

Without performing any action, WhatsApp suddenly showed a ‘Restore your chat history’ error and forced me into a restore process. Since my Google Drive backup was disabled due to storage limits, WhatsApp restored only an old backup from June. As a result, I lost all of my chat history from the last 5 months, including important school, work and personal messages. This issue occurred due to a corruption in the local WhatsApp database, and I am requesting an explanation and support to recover my lost data.
