iCloud photos not optimising properly

I have iCloud photos turned on, I've checked and it is set to optimise Mac storage. I have 2TB of iCloud storage and currently there is approx 150gb of photos/videos in my iCloud, however there is also 200gb of photos/videos on my Mac.


I don't understand why this is the case, can anyone help?

The optimize feature is only invoked when you are low on storage on the Mac.


How much free space on the Mac?
