Drawings I had on Notes are missing because I ran out of I cloud storage. I thought they were on the iPad but default was I cloud backup. Can they be retreived?

Notes app taking up too much space I take written notes on my iPad for work with my Apple Pencil. Today I was notified of not having enough storage and it seems notes is using 200Gb! I have 8-10 pictures that I repeatedly erase and write over but other than that I have a couple notes with pictures and dozens with text only. It shouldn't be taking that much room. How do I rectify this?

All the photos that were saved / inserted in my Notes app are now gone and instead I see a small icon with “jpeg” label. I even get to see the size of the original pictures but sill nothing happens when I try to open them. I All the locked photos that were saved / inserted in my Notes app are now gone and instead I see a small icon with “jpeg” label. I even get to see the size of the original pictures but sill nothing happens when I try to open them. (see screenshot attached) I have tried accessing my Notes from my iPhone, my Mac, my iCloud, and even from somebody else's Mac. Thanks!

All my notes have disappeared Earlier today, I opened my notes app to find that all my notes have been reduced to zero. Both restarting the app and restarting my phone have failed to retrieve them, and I’m too scared to delete the app and redownload it since I fear that will officially delete them forever. The thing is, the amount of space the notes app is taking up hasn’t changed at all. I have been struggling with having enough storage space on my device and have dealt with it by deleting or offloading a few apps whenever storage is full again, so I thought that the notes might have been deleted to gain more space, but no space has been gained. I don’t think I have a backup saved of my notes, since I don’t remember saving a backup of my phone anytime recently. I’m really scared of losing these notes, I have so many things on them I need, so I’d appreciate all the help I can get. Thank you!
