iCloud Photos using a lot of space

Hello!

I have the 2TB plan and I have more than 8.000 photos, the problem here is that in my storage it appears that photos use 4GB, why does this happens if the have to be on iCloud?!

By now Regards!

iPhone XR, iOS 15

Photos synced to iCloud remain on your device. You can optimize storage on device at Settings > Photos
