My contacts are not backing up on iCloud.

My contacts are not backing up on iCloud. They haven't for a long time. I have followed all the suggestions on Apple help to no avail. I have approx 850 contacts on my iPhone 13, none of them very long. Contacts are also not syncing to my iPad. I am so afraid that I will lose my contacts on my iPhone.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

Anything sync'd to your iCloud account, like Contacts, Calendar, Reminders, Photos, are not backed up to iCloud backup by design.

I would go to icloud.com on a computer browser, go to contacts, and export all contacts as a vcf file.
