the lowest I can get my 'other' down to on my XS64gb is 10.36gb. I downloaded app after app until my phone was saying it couldn't install due to lack of space, and thats what my 'other' is showing now.
Doubtful, Other is dynamic in usage. It’s managed by the system. In betas it seems to be buggy.
had iOS13 beta at around 45 GB (including apps and files) out of 64 GB in iPX.
Now I am on iOS14 beta, it's at 59 GB usage. Normal for beta? I mean FFS, 10 GB extra, really?

This issue has been beaten to death in multiple places and you are definitely not alone.
If you installed iOS 14 beta on a primary device, I strongly recommend downgrading back to 13.5.1. "Others" can sometimes be permanent, requiring setting up your device as new (or restoring from the backup without the issue) to resolve. In other words, updating to future beta that fixes the issue won't necessarily fix the issue on devices that were running earlier betas.
It was for me on a couple of betas. It's entirely possible that future iOS 14 beta would fix the issue on devices that were running earlier betas. But it may also require "setting it up as new against new iOS 14 beta" for the problem to go away. Either way, it's a risk inherent on beta software. The fix does not need to fix the beta device.
I’m sure it has been since it’s been present since around iOS 10. I wonder if it contains diagnostic information for when you report bugs.
large quantities of "other" is usually time machine local backups, that it will remove as required. Right now I have 156 GB of "other" on my 1 TB Air
If you use time machine, don't worry about it. The Mac will remove/reclaim backups if you get low on space.
OP is talking about iOS 14
I am really loving iPadOS 14 Beta 2 on my IPad Pro 2 12.9. However, my Other went from almost nothing to 125Gigs. I am still only well below half of the capacity of my 512Gigs. I think I am just going to ride it out to see if Beta 3 fixes it. Other than that, I have experienced zero bugs and it makes me want to download the Beta on my Daily Driver IPP 11”.
It also fixed iPad Pro that was running first and second betas. Thank goodness.
