Thunderbird stopped downloading emails

Hi, I recently installed Thunderbird (POP account type), but it only downloaded about 3000 emails and then stopped, even though I have a lot more emails I would like to archive. It's been about 2 days since no more downloads have occurred. Ive got no way of knowing if it's a temporary pause or what the issue is.

I installed Thunderbird to archive my emails as I intend to delete some older emails from google work space to clear up space, but I want to still have an offline archive of these email.
