iPhone 12 iCloud backup fails despite ample space

Since purchase, my iPhone 12 iCloud backup fails, despite only 39,24 MB of 5 GB shown as used.


I tried to reset my device, etc. but the device does no iCloud backup, and I keep getting the message that my device's backup failed.


What can I do? The next Apple store is a day's travel away...

For 3,9 GB to back up, I need more than 5 GB? That sounds irrational.


Then backup to a computer is the best option without being pressured into paying for an irrational service requirement.


Thanks again for your help.
