I have one question about this service of iPhone storage

If I buy the storage for 4.99/mo 200GB

Does it means it will add 200 GB storage every month?

Or just get 200GB once and need to pay each month for the storage?

And what if I stop the payment does it my storage will be gone?

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 13

You pay for the storage monthly but the space doesn't increase. It is similar to renting physical storage or renting an apartment.

Following is Apple's statement about what happens when you cancel. From Downgrade your iCloud storage - Apple Support


If you downgrade or cancel your plan and your stored iCloud content exceeds your available storage, some of your data will not be uploaded into iCloud. Learn how to manage your storage by deleting information that you don't need anymore.
