Storage size is confusing

[Kottu]

I chose to subscribe Apple one to save storage on my 256Gb iPhone 12PM. When I check iPhone storage in settings, it says 88.4Gb of 256 used but coconut battery in my Mac and also by some other apps, it shows 243Gb of 256 is used. That is around 95%. Why is it so? Apple was promoting iCloud subscription to save storage space. When I tried to transfer a file to my iPhone today, it didn't work because of storage space. Why iPhone shows only 29% is used when in reality it is 95%?

Your screenshot says the iPhone Storage is "Calculating..." ... best be patient before freaking out.

It didn't get better.

How about posting a screenshot of the error or describing the error in detail.
