Deleted and moved files are hanging about in the 'com~apple~CloudDocs' folder even when removed from their original locations. So I'm suspecting that the iCloud sync process is not handling this well. Now I notice that the list of update files includes files in Trash and other places where the files no longer exist. Mine went from over 4000 items to 1,175 in a few minutes but now seems stuck again. Your files will go up in batches, determined by whatever throttling Apple has set for the process. Check this by double-clicking on the little Pie icon in the Finder window.

I cannot guarantee it will work always, as iCloud is blackbox.
You will see your bird process id, in my case it is 815. Double click on ☁️ iCloud icon in finder to see progress.what helped me is changing of 'bird' process priority ('bird' process is responsible for icloud replication).
