Photos no longer uploading to iCloud because “iCloud Storage is Full” when it actually isn’t

Hello Apple Community. I have a problem with my iCloud photos.


My photos are no longer backing up to my iCloud storage because it says “iCloud Storage is Full” or something like that. When in fact I only used up 1.2 GB of 5 GB on my iCloud, so I still have 3.8 GB of space available. Yet my photos app says that my iCloud storage is full, so photos are no longer backing up to my iCloud. I’m not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, but this is kind of annoying.


Any help is appreciated, thanks for your time.

If you are asking about my iCloud, it’s only around 100mb. It seems like most of my photos are now saved on my device storage because of this problem.

No. I am asking about your device storage. Go to Settings > iPad Storage. Look for Photos. That is how much space that Photos would need to backup to iCloud.
