Across the years/decade as I've uploaded photos to GPhotos, some with storage offers, some without, I have photos and videos that some count towards the storage quota and most don't.
How do I find out which ones count towards my storage quota? I would like to batch download and delete them from library (I'll store them elsewhere) and recover my Google Account Storage Quota.
The Photos Web/Mobile UI has recently begun showing if photos count towards quota:
| Example of counting against quota: | Example of not counting against quota: |
|---|---|
 |

Since it's being shown in the Web UI, I'm hoping there's a batch/programmatic way to identify/list/delete these media items.
Things I've looked through till now:
Google One Storage Management Page: https://one.google.com/storage/management
Google Drive File Quota management (doesn't cover Google Photos anymore): https://drive.google.com/drive/quota
Google Photos Web Quota management: https://photos.google.com/quotamanagement
Google Photos API documentation: https://developers.google.com/photos/library/guides/overview
(3p) GPhotos Uploader CLI (uses above API) documentation: https://gphotosuploader.github.io/gphotos-uploader-cli/#/configuration?id=including-and-excluding-files
(3p) rclone Google Photos integration: https://rclone.org/googlephotos/#limitations
Previous SE questions like: How do I know if a video is consuming space on Google Photos? which don't focus on a batch solution and are out of date from Google's recent product developments (upto EOY 2022)
