Hello collette,


An iCloud storage plan is a subscription service. You didn't buy it, you 'rented' it. So like a rented car, when you downgrade you lose the difference.

"What happens when you decrease your storage plan


When you downgrade your iCloud storage plan, the storage decrease takes effect after your current monthly or annual subscription ends.


If you downgrade or cancel your plan and your stored iCloud content exceeds your available storage, new photos and videos don’t upload to iCloud Photos, files don't upload in iCloud Drive, Messages in iCloud don't update, and your iOS devices don't back up. Learn how to manage your storage by deleting the information that you don't need anymore.


If you downgrade to the free iCloud Storage plan, you'll have 5GB of storage."
