Lot's of remaining iCloud storage, yet pictures won't save in iCloud

I just deleted a whole bunch of documents, files and pictures from my Mac, and I'm now left with half of my iCloud storage. I did this in hopes that my pictures would save into iCloud and therefore pop up on my iPhone. But even with all of the remaining storage, the pictures won't save!

Why is that, and what can I do to make it work?

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.15

Try going to iCloud.com using a computer browser to see if the items are there and whether they are from the device or the computer. That should show whether the device or the computer isn't syncing. If the computer, try going to System Preferences/iCloud and stop syncing. Wait a couple of minutes, then recheck syncing. If the device, go to Settings/Your Name/iCloud and do the above. As a last resort, you can also try signing out of iCloud and then sign in again.
