How do I use the free temporary iCloud storage to back up my phone?

How do I use the free temporary iCloud storage to back up my phone? There is a video on the apple support page for how to transfer to a new iPhone that said you could use free temporary iCloud space if you don't have enough iCloud space but I'm not seeing this option anywhere.

Apple has detailed information about the temporary free iCloud space here.


There is a note there also that if you don't need it then it is not offered. Your iPhone or iPad will work this out for you.
