iPhone 11 Pro Max storage issue

I’ve contacted apple about this and tried several different things, including replacing with a new 11 pro max.

my storage is filling up for no reason. I’m diligent about clearing caches, clearing messages, and putting the majority of my photos on google photos. When I got the replacement phone, the storage stayed at ~60gb for a while, which is what I would imagine it to really be. Then I did an update on my phone and suddenly my storage starts having the issue again. It jumped from 60gb to over 130gb within a day or so. Since then, it has steadily gone up. In 5 days, it jumped up 20gb and I didn’t even change anything. I don’t have a lot of apps at all.

I just did another restore on my phone and it helped. We’ll see how long it lasts though.

has anyone else had this issue? I can’t find any reason for it and neither could the support person I’ve been working with.
