You may have seen this, but I will post it here anyway.

This is something that has worked for me in the past when I had problems with iCloud backups. No guarantees, but it can’t hurt to try it.

Go to settings>Your Name>iCloud>Apps Using iCloud>iCloud Backup>Off

Force close the settings app

Turn off WiFi in the settings

Restart the device

Turn WiFi on again

Go to settings>Your Name>iCloud>Apps Using iCloud>iCloud Backup>On>Backup Now
