iPhoto for cloud is not working properly

I have hundreds of photos which will not upload to icloud and the matching of images to persons on the iPhoto app seems to be faulty also. A number of the photos are linked to people but the circle around the face seems to be off the actual image. In short the programme seems to be developing faults and I'm ending up with multiple records of the same person in the album.

MacBook Air (2020 or later)

Hi

Do you really mean iPhoto? Or do you mean Photos? iPhoto was discontinued some years ago

- to help with diagnosis - can you answer the following?

What version of MacOS are you on.
Has this just started for no apparent reason, or have you upgraded MacOS (if so from which version) or changed machine? or some other event?
Where is the library stored (System drive or external drive)? If external - what is the format of the drive?
Is the library on a network drive or in some sort of cloud storage (EG Dropbox or NAS)?
Have you used any apps to remove duplicates, if so, which?
Have you used any "clean up" or "speed up" apps
Do you use Icloud to sync photos?
If so, do you have optimise local storage set?
Are your files imported into photos (photos preferences general) or left as referenced files?
How do you backup your Mac?
