I checked my general storage and saw that my photos takes up a 35gb space, but i’m really confused because i have my photos in the iCloud. Also sometimes it’s kinda confusing because at first it shows only 1,3gb and then it refreshes and shows 35.
iPhone 11, iOS 14
Photos in the cloud also keeps the photos on your phone. You cannot "offload" data to the cloud, rather it serves as a synchronization service between devices. However, if you have optimize photos storage turned on (Settings > Photos) the size of images on your device will vary. Originals are kept int he cloud and the best resolution available is stored on your device.

Maybe. I'm not sure when optimization kicks in. I think the system will do that when you run low on space. I have more than 15,000 photos using 10GB on the phone. So, I don't think you hit an optimization point yet.
Thank you! I already have that turned on, maybe i need to organise my gallery a little bit, since i have over 8k photos.
Why my photos takes up 35gb of space in the general storage while i have them in the iCloud?
