deleted photos from my wife phone which filled the iCloud storage. We have since copied all to a local storage

Stopped using photo in iCloud on my wife phone. This had filled iCloud. Our phones show that iCloud storage is lower than 5 gig. iCloud continues to show it is full?

iCloud photos sync I just removed photo iCloud syncing to free up my iCloud storage plan, because I only have one phone and all. what do I do to ensure it doesn’t get lost after 30 days? There’s some photos that say unable to upload. not only that, if I broke my phone would I lose it? Is it worth it to remove photos from iCloud

iCloud Backup Issues My wife's phone wasn't being backed up for over a year because she had too many photos. I downloaded and deleted thousands of photos from iCloud which freed up enough space (70GB). I ran a backup of her phone overnight. It says it was last backed up this morning and the newer photos are appearing in iCloud. However: The photos in iCloud appear to be small (under 1MB) If she opens Photos on her phone, it says "Updates Paused. Not Enough iCloud Storage". I received an email this morning saying our shared iCloud was nearly full and I checked and it was. If I go to our iCloud storage now, it says it still has 70GB free. It only appears to have backed up 5GB worth of data (hence why the photos are so small I guess) Any ideas what's happening?
