iCloud photos missing

How to I get back my missing photos on iCloud, I have been backing up my photos just as expected but I recently noticed that close to 8000 photos from random dates are missing. Please help me get them back, I am stressing out. Please also note that I have plenty of storage so storage cannot be an issue

If your photos are not at iCloud.com/photos -- which would also reflect all photos on your device -- check your Recently Deleted album.


If nothing can be found, the images are not in iCloud. You'll then have to recover from your backup or original sources.
