Also see If you see a Could Not Create Apple ID or Could Not Set Up iCloud message https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210743. From the document (and see the remedy given in the document for each situation)

 

"If you see a Could Not Create Apple ID message, it means that you have exceeded the number of new Apple IDs you can set up with iCloud on a single device in one year."

 

"If you see a Could Not Set Up iCloud message, it means that you have exceeded the number of Apple IDs you can set up with iCloud on a single device in one year."
