I just noticed that Photos library begin quickly growing as soon as iCloud sync is enabled.

1. Selecting all contents of the Library shows 13.5GB.
2. Selecting the Photos Library archive shows 16 GB.
3. As soon as I enable Photos sync with iCloud - Photos Library starts quickly growing twice its contents - up to 26.33 GB.
4. When I disable the iCloud Photos sync - Library reduces back.

But almost all pictures are stored locally, iCloud has about 2 GB of photos uploaded form iphone what are already in Mac's local Photos Library - there is nothing to download to Photos Library from there.

System: Ventura 13.0.1 (22A400)
