so, i have an iphone 13 pro max, 128 gb. and a few days ago, i checked storage and my photos are taking up almost 70gb, and this is very odd, considering i only have 17k photos and videos which may seem a lot to you, but i digress. does anyone know how to fix this?

Thank you for the screenshot.
Troubleshooting iCloud Photo Storage:
This seems plausible, and highly-likely. 3 hour videos can be around 3-4 GBs. One high-resolution photo can be up top 4MBs. So, 1,000 of those photos would be 4GBs. So, do all the math, and you'd see how it would add up. It makes send when you have so many items. So, to fix it, download it all to an external device.
