Apparently i have a huge library, i am procrastinating on doing this to my accounr, have done it for wife's phone as it was 100% and she was asking me to buy a new phone as storage is out , i am on ONE plan with 100GB, which is filling fast due to mainly photos ..
I was die hard fan and android fanboy just for this unlimited photos backup as i take lot of pics and it was a perk to never worry about getting storage filled due to unlimited backups

Google played a reverse uno card here , but you can still use it like before while saving photo’s automatically and not count towards your quota.
- create a random new google account
- sign in and set google photos to use same , disable automatic backups on primary account.
- In new account enable partner sharing and share all photos with primary google account, this way those photos will count towards the new google account quota and simultaneously they will be accessible in your primary account and they will not count towards primary account.
You can keep doing it every few months whenever that 15gb limit is reached , just use 2FA and a strong password to prevent any untoward incident

Google really spoiled us by enabling searching photos by keyword , that is irreplaceable for me , can't live without that, not sure if any offline software will achieve that ...
