How to bulk identify Google Photos media items that count towards storage quota?

$

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:

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:

  1. Google One Storage Management Page:https://one.google.com/storage/management

  2. Google Drive File Quotamanagement (doesn't cover Google Photos anymore):https://drive.google.com/drive/quota

  3. Google Photos Web Quotamanagement: https://photos.google.com/quotamanagement

  4. Google PhotosAPI documentation:https://developers.google.com/photos/library/guides/overview

  5. (3p) GPhotos Uploader CLI (uses above API) documentation:https://gphotosuploader.github.io/gphotos-uploader-cli/#/configuration?id=including-and-excluding-files

  6. (3p) rclone Google Photos integration:https://rclone.org/googlephotos/#limitations

  7. 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 which don't focus on a batch solution and are out of date from Google's recent product developments (upto EOY 2022)
