iMessages in the cloud not working

[Slb4001]

I have a 128gb iPhone 12 Pro running ios16. I have iMessages in the cloud on but since I updated from ios15 my storage has been gobbled up by iMessages on my phone. It was 40gb a few days ago now it’s 46gb. My brother has the same problem on his 13 pro.

Anyone else seeing the same thing?

It’s still synchronizing I bet. Look if all the photos are there and I would guess not. It will take days. My iMessage is 250 GB.
