icloud backup - iphone

My iPhone has started to report that it has not been backed up in several weeks, stating that I don't have enough space in my iCloud storage. I cleared out my iCloud storage and have ~2.5Gb free. However, my iPhone still reports that I don't have enough space for the backup (i normally charge it overnight, so it should automatically do so . My ipad reported it last back up was yesterday, so i don't know what is going on with my iphone. Is there anything i can do to get it backing itself up again?

With thanks in advance

Hello adewar1979,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I understand that you are getting a message that there isn't enough free space in your iCloud storage to back up your iPhone. I would recommend taking a look at the following support article to address issues backing up to iCloud:

If you can't back up to iCloud or restore from iCloud backup failed - Apple Support

Best regards.

Many thanks for this, I didn't realize the that the additional options reported the size of the backup. Once I amended the backup options, my iPhone now backs itself up again.

Many thanks
