Are my photos going to disappear ?

Hi, I accidentally turned my iCloud photos off and got an email from Apple saying that they were going to delete in 30 days then I turned it back on again but I’m worried that they’re going to disappear even if I turned it back on again a few minutes later.

iPhone XS Max, iOS 16

iCloud Photos effect on MAC Photos after canceling? According to an email from iCloud.com, "You must download your full resolution photos and videos to at least one device before they are deleted from iCloud Photos in 30 days." Do I really need to do this? The email came after I turned off iCloud Photos on my MAC. My MAC was the only device that had iCloud Photos activated. It was not activated on my iPhone or iPad. Did iCloud change all my photos and videos on my MAC to low resolution versions when I activated iCloud Photos?

Suddenly all of my photos before Jan 1 2022 are gone. What gives? Suddenly all of my photos in iCloud taken prior to Jan 1 2022 have disappeared. Has this happened to anyone else? Who do i even contact to complain about this? No I didn’t delete them, no I didn’t hide them. Years and years of photos just stopped being there.

Nope. You turned it back on.

iCloud is a safe place to keep photos, but if I were you I'd keep a backup on a separate hard drive, just for safety.
