Try going to System Preferences/iCloud (Apple ID for Catalina) and stop Photos syncing by unchecking the box. Wait a couple of minutes, then check syncing. Allow time for the sync to complete. The photo sync is very, very slow and could easily take 2 days or more to complete.
Last resort - have you tried signing out of iCloud, restarting, and then sign back in?

Thank you. I ended up talking to Apple support and they basically walked me through the process you described
You are welcome. Glad to help.
