Slow syncing on iOS

Hey there, I have been trying to sync my iCloud library to immich. I selected every important album in the app to sync every photo. I came to a total of 24k photos to upload. For some reason though, the images are not uploading. It seems to be very slow and it makes tiny to zero progress. I have been trying to keep the app open for some hours, spread over several days, but it really doesn't help. Is there anything I am missing or is the app just not built to upload that many pictures? Also the app seems to crash sometimes while uploading new images.

Also I noticed that when I left the app open for a while, immich consumes so much space that my phone space is full (about 13G of immich) I am using the newest version of ubuntu on my raspberry pi 4 with 4 gigs of RAM The logs do not show anything sadly.

Okay apparently the app wanted me to open a ticket, just so that I have the pain of going through the checks. Now it works faster than before... After several days of trying..
