AAtv72,


Thank you for those details. Let's review the recommended steps outlined here: If you can't back up to iCloud or if restore from iCloud backup failed


If the issue persists, Are you using any 3rd party security software or VPN for your iPhone? Are you able to test on another network? Also, can you also verify your current device and iOS version?


Take Care!
