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 ?

The photos that you can view at iCloud.com are not from iCloud Backup. They are synced via iCloud Photos. Doing an iCloud Backup will not add to the photos that you can see at iCloud.com but if you have iCloud Photos turned on in your device they should sync automatically after any change (new photo, deleting, edit) and the numbers should be the same. It may take some time for the original sync and the sync status should show if you open the Photos app and scroll to the bottom of the Library.
