Go to Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Manage Storage > Backups > Tap your Device

You'll then see the backup size and/or next backup size (it can take a while to calculate). I'm guessing that you may have more than 5GB to back up.

For iPhone 8 Plus, you can upgrade to iOS 15, if it's compatible, or force restart it, backup and see if it works.

If issue still persists, you can erase your iPhone, if you know your password.
