So, as many of you might already know, the unlimited space / 100 extra GB perk on Google Photos has been long gone.
Right now, you can still have unlimited space if you go to your Google Photos settings and choose to upload your photos compressed, so any picture bigger than 16 MP will be reduced to have that size. However, if you want to upload the photos with their original size, then you won't have unlimited space and all your upload will count towards your quota.
That's all explained here: https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6220791?hl=en
I'd like to be able to choose different settings for pictures taken from my phone and those that I upload to Google Maps so that I can:

Following up on my initial message, a few weeks ago I mentioned the issue in another thread in Spanish, and a moderator told me that won't happen if I upload the photo direct..., that is, not using the options "Photos from phone" or "Your photos", but today I could verify that's not the case:
Any official solution/answer to this issue? What am I supposed to do if I want to download all my photos from Google Photos and then delete them all, from there while still keeping the ones I added to Google Maps in Google Maps and just in Google Maps.

Looks like this problem has been happening for a while (https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/photos/-gMUXqeiEao), although it has been evolving over time, but always for the worse. The guy who created that thread mentioned that originally you could delete photos from Google Photos that have been uploaded to Google Maps, and they will not disappear from there...

I opened a thread on Product Forums to see if I can get an answer/solution from there: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/maps/G86oxnmR2UQ;context-place=forum/maps
I quote it here:
Photos uploaded to Google Maps automatically sync to Google Photos
