Photos - Optimizing days stuck at 0% for over two weeks

MacOS Photos app on Sequoia shows it is optimizing days and has not progressed a percentage point since the new update a few weeks ago. Anything has gone wrong?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.1

Same here unfortunately. It was ok after upgrading to 15.0 (no betas involved) on all machines but since a few weeks Photos got stuck with creating a proper summary of a trip containing >2,000 photos (not just on Macs but also on an iPhone 16 Pro and an iPad Pro M1 - all linked via iCloud Photos). I've even repaired the Photos Library on the only machine (MBP M3 Max) that is not linked to the other devices via iCloud Photos - yet it's stuck at 25% since a few days by now (definitely connected all the time to power)... sigh!
