iPhone vs iCloud Storage (Apple Photos)

When I save my photos in my iCloud Photos via my iPhone, it also eats up my iPhone storage. Now i ran out of iPhone storage even though i have subscribed 2T GB iCloud storage. Please help!

That's the way iCloud photo works. It is not independent storage for photos. It is a synchronization service to sync photos from one device across all your devices. So your photos always live on both your device(s) and in iCloud. If you delete them on your device, you delete them in iCloud, and that deletion then sync's across all your connected devices.
