Hey JimmyJuly1962,

It sounds like you have a little over a GB of space available but your backup can't be created. In this case, check to see how big your next backup is.

"Check your iCloud storage and Next Backup Size in iOS or iPadOS

Go to Settings > [your name].
Tap iCloud. The amount of iCloud storage that you've used is listed at the top. Learn more.
Tap Manage Storage.
Tap Backups, then tap the device you're using. Next Backup Size is listed under Last Backup and Backup Size."

If your next backup size is less than the available storage, continue with the other steps in If you can't back up to iCloud.

Have a great day!
