Please search the site before you start a new topic. The question How to extract the last 1000 nt from a group of sequences in a FASTA file? has an answer from shenwei356 that addresses your situation:

seqkit subseq supports this, if you want a fast solution.

seqkit subseq -r -1000:-1 seqs.fa > result.fa
