I have a 2TB iCloud plan (now Apple One premium, so for some time I'll have 4TB, but that's not the matter).

Months ago, I've put all my Documents on it.

My Document folder is 264.3 GB. All of it is on iCloud Drive (I can see and access all of it from the web and from iOS devices). Syincing is all working.

Getting info on my iCloud Drive folder on the Mac it says it is 272.5 GB (other folders are there).

My iCloud Photo Library is 122.8 GB. Plus Backups 7.5 GB, Messages 6 GB.

However, since ages (we are talking almost a year), if I check my iCloud Drive occupied space it says that ALL my part of the occupation (not counting other family members) is 210.5 GB, with Documents at 70.8 GB.

This number is never changing and is the same everywhere I check (Mac, iOS, website).

Now...I am not complaining (I have more free space than I should), but does somebody know what the hell is happening and how the GB counter can be corrected?

Everything seems to work but I am afraid of some problem at the bottom that might screw me when and if I need to recover some file or sync somewhere else...
