Fans FULL with MacOS Photos (Mojave 10.14.6)

I just turned iCloud on for Photos and my fans now run on FULL blast (5500-6000) rpm on my MacBook Pro Retina mid 2015.

I assume it is indexing or downloading photos...

How long will it go on?

Will it EVER end? (Is there a way to estimate the time remaining?)

IF not, I will turn it off again for sure as the fan noise is intolerable.

In activity monitor Photos is using 200-250% of CPU (NO idea how that is possible)

Thanks for any insight or experience.
