Hi there,


You probably have iCloud Photo Library enabled. This means that all photo and video taken on your device will automatically be uploaded to iCloud. When you first signed up for iCloud, Apple provided you with 5GB of free online storage. Your 450 photos and videos have your free iCloud storage full. You can continue using iCloud Photo Library by either deleting photos and videos to free up space, or you can buy more iCloud storage. You can also just disable iCloud Photo Library and store your photos on just your device.
