Signed out of iCloud and then later back in. Now iPhone backup is 185GB?

[Fred Zed]

I recently signed out of my iCloud account and signed in using another account. When i signed back in to my iCloud account using my regular iCloud account email it now says my iPhone backup is 185GB. Before it was only 11GB. Was wondering what happened here or a way to get it back to how it was ? Thanks.

I’ve always stored my photos library on the device. Yet my backups have been around 10.5GB for my iPhone. Now it’s showing photos as the following

Backups are normally incremental, not the whole shebang each time.
When signing out then in, it’ll make a whole shebang backup.

Bang on. Thanks. All sorted after forcing another backup. Backup size has gone back to 11GB and total iCloud storage now reflecting the same.
