Stuck on "Syncing older messages" on WhatsApp Tablet – Need to access a 6-month-old message urgently!

Hi everyone, I’m in a very stressful situation. I have a password sent to myself via WhatsApp about 6-7 months ago.

  1. My primary phone (iPhone 13) is almost locked out (only 1-2 attempts left for the passcode). I can't risk checking it there.
  2. I’m trying to access the message on my tablet, but it’s stuck on "Syncing older messages" for hours.
  3. When I try to link a new device (Web or Desktop), I get "Could not connect" error after scanning the QR code.
  4. iCloud is full, so there's no recent cloud backup.

How can I force the tablet to prioritize syncing this specific chat or bypass the connection error on Desktop? Any help is appreciated!
