Your phone has literally no available space to process the complex optimization process. It's not a simple upload to iCloud being done here.

31.8GB of 32GB is being used.

See >>> https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT211686 for the "other"

I suggest you remove apps to create space and reinstall them afterwards.

Hello athabet81,

Thanks for reaching out using Apple Support Communities!

We see the upload to iCloud has stopped at this spot; we want to help make sure it completes for you.

Does the issue remain if you restart your iPhone normally?

If it continues, can you confirm the exact iOS version you’re using in Settings > General > About?

How much free iCloud storage do you have?

This can help the community further isolate what is causing the issue.

A normal restart might help quickly resolve this and get your photos uploaded!

Cheers!
