iMessage Storage is massive

Latest iOS 16 running on iPhone 12 Pro.


iPhone Storage says Messages is at 6.26 GB.


iCloud Storage says Messages is at 17.8 GB.


I have rebooted, set the time of messages to live for 1 year. Still the same, and its eating all my iCloud storage.


What else can I do here?

Not a solution. What about the mysterious extra 10GB in iCloud but not on phone.
