iPhone storage full

My phone is not working because it states that my storage is full. I pay every month for additional storage so I’m unsure why this is happening.

iPhone 5s, iOS 10

Be very careful. You pay every month for iCloud storage. It is not possible to increase iPhone storage.

The “other” storage is either cache being used temporarily, overhead from corrupt apps, or (most likely) an incomplete attempt to move data to iCloud storage. Check Settings > General > iPhone Storage and look for an incomplete progress wheel next to an iCloud transaction. If you see this, plug your iPhone into power and let it stay on Wi-Fi for a while (overnight).
