My iCloud photo library has been disabled, why?

Over the past few days i have noticed that my ipad and iphone are planning to delete my photo collection, asking me to download it. I have made no changes that i am aware of. I pay a subscription for 20Gb of storage which is not full

iPad, iOS 8.4, iPad Air - 32Gig wifi only model.

Okay, I found out how to solve this issue. Go to System Preferences > iCloud > Manage (bottom right) > and now find Photos Library and Undo Deletion
