All photos are not being backed up to icloud All photos are not being backed up to icloud - my phone’s photos app showing around 8500 photos and 600 videos but when I backed them up to iCloud, it says back up done but I could only see ~4000 photos and ~250 videos. What is going wrong here ?

why wont my photos back up to iCloud? Everything else is. My iPhone 10 xs max fell into pool water a few days ago and that evening I set into rice. It came back on but is acting up. I was able to get to iCloud and manually do back up. My issue is, it is taking HOURS upon HOURS, maybe because it has been a while since I've backed it up I don't know. But it appears on my iCloud account when logging in online, that everything but photos are there. Any trouble shooting / help would be greatly appreciated. I also plugged phone to computer to grab pix but nothing new is showing, though it is there on the phone.

If you have enough storage in iCloud, leave the device plugged in and connected to WiFi.
