messages not syncing in iCloud

I'm trying to free up storage on my iPad. Messages sync to iCloud is on. But reviewing storage I have 4.7 Gigs of messages on phone but only 13 MB of messages in iCloud and I can't find a way to access them. Help, I'm out of storage.

messages are storing on phone rather then iCloud I recently got a message saying my phone storage is almost full. So I went to check my storage on my phone and it’s damn near full which it never has been, the largest largest amount of storage is being used by messages at 45 GB. I went to check on my iCloud and barely any is being used. Sync my phone is turned on. Storage says 64 GB, however once I enter into it, it says zero bytes is within there and there are no conversations visible. It seems like my phone isn’t storing my messages in iCloud. How do I fix this?
