iCloud synchronization has stopped

I turned off the "Shared Photo Library" feature, and because of this, the synchronization in iCloud froze. In the photo library synchronization status graph, it shows "Deleting shared photo library", and it has been going on for 9 months. What shall I do?

iPhone 11, iOS 17

Photos do not sync across devices and iCloud Hello All, Photos are not synchronizing across my apple devices (iPhone, MacBook, iPad)and iCloud as well. Essentially, photos are not synchronizing across the board. I have a 2TB iCloud Plan and about 400GB left. It seems like the synchronizing stopped after the "Shared Library" concept was introduced. I have added my family as shared members. Anyone else seeing this? I called Apple Support and no luck so far. Thanks!

iPad Pro stopped syncing photos with iCloud Hi Everyone I noticed that ever since 17.0 my ipad doesn't sync with iCloud anymore. It will not upload or download photos. All other things seem to be working normal with iCloud syncing. I've tried turning iCloud photo sync off and on, rebooting before and after closing out all apps etc. I have 83+ gig available so it shouldn't be that. I haven't logged out of iCloud totally and log back in yet cause thats always a pain. iPad Pro 11" 3rd gen. Software 17.0.3 83.65 GB available

Syncing photos with iCloud slow Previous thread closed. M3 Max MB Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max, photo synch has become unbearable the last several months. Both devices fully updated to latest OSs. This slowness affects all devices. Previous thread suggested killing the bird process might help. Tried that and no luck. Coincidentally, or maybe not, I went over 100k photos recently, though I have 2 TB iCloud and it's only ~ ½ full. HELP! Synching seems ALWAYS paused for "system performance". Well, my devices are restarted regularly, powered up almost always, and usually updated the day patches/updates are released. How much "system performance" pausing of iCloud synch is required, seriously? Oh, and being able to see a list of items yet to be synched would be very useful.
