Backup takes all my iCloud storage?

My iPhone refuses to back up because it says I don't have enough iCloud storage.

I currently have 3.1 GB of 5 GB used; half of this is Docs, half is existing backups. This phone is the only device being backed up.

Question: Am I supposed to delete the current backups to make space for a new backup? Why wouldn't each backup simply overwrite the previous one?

The only things I have, in addition to 1.5 GB of Docs, is a notes app (2.8 KB) and a game app (242 KB). I have removed all photos and music.

I have rebooted my phone numerous times, but couldn't think of anything else to do.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide ...

iPhone 8, iOS 13

Only option is to either delete those backups or choose which apps to backup -- Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support.
