Lost most of my raws on Lightroom iPad due to "Your subscription does not have cloud access"

I travel quite often and find Lightroom on iPad is quite handy. 

I used "Login with Apple" on Lightroom for iPad and that's not a paid account. I paid to AppStore subscription for premium editing features of course.

When I was staying in Italy, it acted like noting wrong. However, the fact is that Lightroom for iPad would upload my raws to the cloud and delete the local copy, even if my account is not eligible. Last month I travel back to China then I can't access most of the pictures even now I returned to Italy again.

I have another paid account and I realized they are not the same. Now I paid both cloud accounts trying to save my pictures. It didn't work at all and all I've got is the error above.

I need help to get back my catalog. However, another obvious problem is, my account did not have cloud access, why would this app silently SYNC MY FILES TO THE CLOUD AND DELETE LOCAL COPIES?????
