It's turned cool in Dallas-- 29° C, better than the 40s a couple of weeks ago.

Here's a list of some of the stuff we'd like to know in order to help:

Update from what to what?
What happened after Photos finished processing?
Are you using iCloud Photos to synchronize your devices? If so
…Do you have “Optimize Storage” checked in Settings>[name]>iCloud>Photos>
…Do you see all your iPhone pictures at iCloud.com?
…Have you checked to see if the Apple Account is really really the same on the iPhone and at iCloud.com?
…What is your storage in iCloud? At Settings>[name]>iCloud>Storage, mine says 166.6 GB of 200 GB used. What does yours say?
What is your storage on this iPhone? At Settings>General>iPhone Storage, my phone says 50.5 GB of 128 GB used. What does yours say?
At Settings>Battery, what do Battery Health, Maximum Capacity, and Cycle Count say?
Have you been keeping backups of your pictures on an external drive?
