Realized my Photos App library was empty after updating to BIG SUR (11.2.3)! The Photos app is selected in the iCloud preferences, and I never unselected it from this computer. Photos App has been open for 3 days now and still won't sync to the iCloud which costs 10$ a month.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.2
It is not uncommon for the iCloud sync to occasionally get stuck.
Within preferences/iCloud try toggling photos on and off. Similarly switch iCloud photos on and off within Photos app. If that doesn't work try logging out of iCloud altogether, rebooting the Mac and logging back in. Normally a combination of these is enough to trigger the sync process.
Alternatively, hold down the alt key as you click on Photos icon. Then create a new library and in preferences make this the system library and enable iCloud.

Yes thank you it was the fact I didn’t make it the system library in preferences that it didn’t work. Thanks again!!
