iCloud Photos on iPhone XS Max running 12.1

I upgraded my phone from the iPhone X to the XS Max version and I am using 12.1 beta 1. I backed up my old iphone, then restored my XS Max using my backup from the iPhone X. I have always used iCloud photos to upload my photos to the cloud. When I upraded, I noticed that the iPhone was uploading and my photos again to the cloud and has done it atleast twice. Needless to say my bandwidth with Comcast is close to my limit for the month


Is there anyway to stop this merry-go-round from sending my photo library many times to the cloud and using up my bandwidth? For now i have stopped altogether uploading my photos and leave them on my phone. Any help would greatly appreciated. Thank you.
