- The main issue is Get-AzureADMSDeletedGroup does not return all deleted groups by default (and shows not information the results are limited). The cmdlet provides an additional parameter All.
Get-AzureADMSDeletedGroup -all:$true
-All
If true, return all group members. If false, return the number of objects specified by the Top parameterWithout the parameter Get-AzureADMSDeletedGroup returns just 100 results and the date filter was not applied to all deleted groups in AAD.
I did the same tests, one for the last 5 days and one for 30 days. Both commands include now the same results.

Definitely sounds like a replication issue, and one that should be taken care of in a timely manner. The SLAs for that sync process should be in the range of hours, definitely not days. Anyway, cfiessinger might be able to get right people involved.
