iCloud "kept offline" size

[Danungar]

Allow me to raise a question I already asked last September, but to which I got no answers. On my iPad, under Settings/General/ipad storage/icloud Drive, there are two categories: "total size" and "kept offline". The "total size" figure is equal to the figure for iCloud Drive one layer above, but the "kept offline" figure is higher. How is this possible, since "kept offline" is supposed to be a subset of iCloud Drive?

Settings > General > iPad Storage > iCloud Drive just shows "Total Size" for me.

But - that "Total Size" is shown as 62.1MB which isn't remotely complete. Settings > {my name} > iCloud > Drive shows that my "total usage" is 13.4GB so my guess is, 62.1MB represents data uploaded directly from this iPad (as opposed to my Macs or iPhone).

Perhaps you've flagged files to "Keep downloaded" that were not originally uploaded from that iPad?

That makes sense (to a certain extent) but, in that case, it doesn't work, since the "total size" figure is exactly equal to "total usage", so it can't be just the files I've uploaded from my iPad.
