View submission: Urgent help needed: Downloading Google Takeout data before expiration
Unfortunately I didn't choose that. I didn't think about connecting it to a separate GDrive, different than the account that the Google Photos is under... and because I'm a legacy account and was trying to do a full back up before switching, I'm not allowed to add storage. I also liked the idea of something separate.

Depending on the account type and if you deleted the photos in the past 30 days, you can recover the deleted photos (if you have a regular google account (not legacy/workspace, this won’t be an option)). Once you do this, I recommend creating a new takeout to something like a google drive, where you can download everything. Alternatively, use googles api to download the photos.
Otherwise, I believe google sorts takeout photos by date. If you deleted photos from a certain period, download just those folders and use their api to download the rest.
