relevant video on this unlimited plan and the way it is capped. [VIDEO] tl;dw Upload is limited to 750GB per day per account
Read original comment ↗Ah, I see now. Google will store an unlimited number of photos that they compress to "High Quality" and it is limited to 15 GB uploaded per day. There is a storage limit on the "Original Quality" images (e.g. images not put through Google's compression). Reminds me of the Linus Tech Tips video where they try to use Google's claim of unlimited free storage to backup their video library to Google Drive [1]. Eventually Google rate limits their access so harshly that it becomes a practical limit. Just like those "unlimited" mobile data plans that eventually slow down your service it is really just marketing. They hide the actual limits but they are there to prevent abuse. 1. [VIDEO]
