Bing has a lot of newer code to it like 1-2 years old and there are still a lot of bugs such as not indexing all pages. You could manually submit the pages not indexed or click your own links spiders may crawl this if you do that.

If Bing isn't indexing all your pages, check for technical blockers (robots.txt, noindex tags), improve content quality, submit a clean sitemap, and use IndexNow to force re-indexing.
