I had something similar happen before, and in my case it turned out to be the iCloud Contacts sync rather than the contacts actually being deleted. first check Settings → iCloud → Contacts and make sure Contacts is turned on.
Also, open iCloud.com → Contacts and see if the missing contacts are still there. If they are, the issue is probably with syncing on the iPhone. If they’re missing from iCloud as well, check whether they were accidentally deleted or restored from another account.

Might you have exceeded your iCloud storage limit?

That’s a possibility, It’s worth checking the iCloud storage as well.
