oh and I did find in that support article that you sent that it says

  • “You can't sign in to iCloud.com with an email alias. Sign in with your @icloud.com email address or the Apple ID that you use with your iCloud account.”

but I don’t know if that would fix this or not, or if I did sign in with iCloud instead of @me then it would change my iCloud backups or not and either way since my brother is using an @icloud address and it doesn’t work either, then this may just be a glitch that Apple needs to fix.

yeah I’ve been having this problem too and both the accounts do match, the only thing I thought maybe could be the problem is that my account is an @me.com account instead of @icloud.com, but my brother is using an @icloud.com account and his does the same thing. It’s extremely annoying because I want to keep my messages in iCloud for one to keep them off my phone so I’ve got enough storage because I’m always running out, and two so if I ever get a new iPhone I can have all of them easily, and since I have nearly 7 GB of messages and only 32 GB of iPhone storage it’s just gonna keep growing and I don’t want to delete them... Apple really needs to fix this!
