Updates to the Google Photos API
This is really inconvenient for me as well.
It seems like it will affect gphotos-sync, which I have been using reliably for years to backup all my photos...
https://github.com/gilesknap/gphotos-sync
Does anybody have good alternatives? I'm quite used to taking photos on my phone and feeling confident they will be backed up from Google Photos. This convenience is one of the few reasons why I still use Google stuff. I even ditched Gmail years ago.

Rclone syncs your files to cloud storage
Sadly, it’s not configurable. It’s just an inherent limitation of the API (1). Takeout is the best alternative, but for something more realtime you can use tools (2) that wrap the browser UI which also exports full quality.

A way to auto send from google photo to photoprism?
What I did was a very painful process of using Google Takeout and gphotos-sync ( https://github.com/gilesknap/gphotos-sync ), manually merging what I knew was missing, and using file counts by month/year to track other missing objects. gphotos-sync is limited by the same API issues as rclone, which is another perfectly fine utility to use, besides the API limitations. On a side note, I use rclone to backup everything to "storj" every night ( delta sync ).

Immich - Self-hosted photos and videos backup solution from your mobile phone (AKA Google Photos replacement you have been waiting for!) - March late update - now with CLIP-enabled search mechanism.
I haven't tried immich yet, but I am using https://github.com/gilesknap/gphotos-sync with great success. I wonder how hard it would be to set up a workflow to get the synced photos into immich.

Amazon Photos just ate 240,364 of my photos
I pull mine from Google Photos, with a docker image running a tool: https://github.com/gilesknap/gphotos-sync
Its not perfect, but as a backup, it works well.
