My Apple ID Profile Photo doesn't upload correctly in System Preferences on my Mac

Hey everyone. I've been having a minor issue since I updated my MacBook Pro to Catalina. I happens when I open the System Preferences, my Apple ID photo doesn't show up or doesn't upload properly, as you may see with the following pictures. (It happens in the Screen Time window, as well, showing a grey circle only)


Does anyone know how could I solve this? It's a minor issue but it's annoying not being able to watch your own picture every time you use these options.

Try reducing the size of the jpg.

eg export it from Photos with minimum quality then upload it.
