Photos can be uploaded up to 16MP resolution in Google Photos "High Quality" option and will not be counted towards storage space, but that was before June 2021. After that date, Photos, emails and even Google Docs files are counted.
The count made me shift my storage provider to OneDrive, which I opted not to have my storage reduced (from 30GB) at the time they changed policy and reduced free storage to 5GB. I still retain backup in my own drive, though.
