Photos Mac app and iCloud issue

[Centris 650]

I recently turned off "iCloud Photo Library" to save some space on my iCloud account. I didn't realize it at the time but my wife really liked the ability to browse all of her photos on her iPhone. So I upped our storage and and clicked iCloud sharing back on....but I still get the "XX days remaining" warning in the photos settings on my Mac.

So here are my questions.
1) When the count down gets to zero will it revert back to putting my photos to the cloud?
2) Do I need to download the photos for back up just to be safe and if so how?

Any thoughts on this would be helpful and appreciated!

Always have a second backup to your photos. If you have them in the Cloud, make sure you back them to a Disc or External drive. They should still be there.

For the warning part - I had a Error with my iCloud, I just sent a message to Support and they had to fix it on their end. Contact them via email or use the Support App.
