You didn't give us much to work with. For instance, are you talking about a Mac, an iPhone, or an iPad or at iCloud.com?


Maybe you could tell us the following, for a start:

  • What OS are you using? 
  • Are you using iCloud Photos to synchronize your devices?
  • Do you synchronize an iPhone with iCloud Photos?
  •    if so, do you have “Optimize Storage” checked in Photos’ Settings
  • What models are your devices?
  • If this is a Mac, where does your Photos Library reside-- in the Pictures folder of your internal drive, or on an external drive? or on a network? on iCloud drive?
  • Has this problem always existed, or did it just start? Can you think of anything that changed that might affect your device?
