iPhone 11 storage shows way more than whats possible after migrating from Google photo to iOS (screenshot inside)

Transferred around 40k photos manually from Google photo to iCloud (2TB plan) and this happened. Anyone know how to fix it?

Your screenshot shows Photos taking about 244 GB. 244 GB / 40,000 photos is around 6 MB per photo, which is completely reasonable. You need to go to Settings —> Photos and turn on optimize iPhone storage. I have 273 GB of photos/videos in my iCloud Photo Library, but Photos is only 8 GB of space on my phone.
