Unable to Back Up to iCloud Even Though I Have Plenty of iCloud Storage Space Left

When I try to back up my iPhone 7, I get the error message saying there is not enough iCloud storage available. But my storage shows just 20.5 MB of 5GB used? I am connected to WiFi.

Have you checked what the size of your next backup will be? It may be that the next backup size would exceed the 5GB of storage that you have,


Settings>Your Name>iCloud>Manage Storage>Backups>Device Name. Let everything load and you will see the size of your next backup.
