I turned my Mac mini off for a couple of days and when I turned it back on, I noticed that 89 photos had not come across from my iPhone photos. Those photos showed up on my iPad fine.
My iPhone has 27,281 photos,556 videos. My Mac mini has 27,192, 554 videos.
The Photos app on my Mac says at the bottom "Downloading 7,686 Originals • Pause"
It's been a couple more days now and nothing is downloading.

Hey there Woody509,
Thanks so much for using Apple Support Communities.
We can definitely help you get your Photos syncing as expected again! To start, the following resource is going to have the best available troubleshooting steps and should work as a really good jumping off point for getting this resolved: If your iCloud Photos aren't syncing to your device - Apple Support
We would recommend working through the steps in that article and seeing if they help you get things working again. We will also copy and paste the most pertinent parts of that article below, for ease of access.
If your photos still aren't syncing to iCloud
Learn what to do if you don't see a status message at the bottom of the Photos app that explains why your photos aren't syncing, or syncing is taking a long time. If you see a Couldn’t Sync [number of items] to iCloud status message, learn how to move these photos to your library.
Connect your device to power
If your device seems to be stuck on a status message that says Syncing [number of items] to iCloud or Syncing with iCloud…, connect your iPhone or iPad to power and to Wi-Fi.
Check your Apple ID
Make sure that you signed in to iCloud with the correct Apple ID on your device.

Check which Library view you're in
If you set up iCloud Shared Photo Library in iOS 16.1 or later, iPadOS 16.1 or later, or macOS Ventura or later, check which Library view you're in. When you move photos to your Shared Library, you no longer see them in your Personal Library. You also won't see photos moved to your Shared Library if you're on a device with an earlier version of iOS, iPadOS, or macOS or if the iCloud Shared Photo Library owner has run out of iCloud storage.
We hope this does the trick for you!
Cheers.
