I have switched my MacOS photos to iCloud storage (a very large batch)- my iOs devices have been using this for sometime. I cannot get the MacOS files, beyond a relatively recent date, to propagate to my iOs devices. There is no indication that the files are even slowly being transferred to iCloud. What am I doing wrong?

Time to Upgrade Cloud?:
If they update, they would update by date. With a "very large batch", then it may take some time. If all do not upload, then you may have to consider uploading your iCloud Storage plan. Note that this does not increase your internal storage. Go here: iCloud Storage Plans and Pricing - Apple Support
How Many Photos?:
A high-resolution photo would take up to 2MB. or so So, 1,000 of those would be 2GB. If the quantity is in the 1000s then it may take some time, depending on the speed of your ISP Plan. Remember that there is only so much that broadband can handle.
Yep, I've increased my iCloud storage plan to 2 TB - virtually none of which has been accessed, so that's not the problem -- therefore what is? The switches to increased storage and iCloud storage were made several days ago but there's been no movement
Thanks, yes they are uploading -- still got a ways to go -- Thanks
In photos. Switch to library view.
Then scroll down to the bottom of your library, where your library quantity is listed. What does it say?
