Backup in iCloud Storage
After restoring my iPhone backup image to a new iPhone (just upgraded), do I need to keep the backup in iCloud? It pushes me to the limit of my iCloud storage plan (200 GB).

Reduce the size of your iCloud Backup
When you back up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to iCloud, the most important information on your device is backed up automatically. Learn more about what iCloud backs up.
Many iOS apps automatically back up to iCloud after you install them. You can decrease the size of your iCloud Backup and free up space in iCloud when you stop backing up apps that you don't use or delete old iCloud backups.

No. Your new iPhone should make its now separate backup.
Once you confirm everything is on the new iPhone, you are free to delete the one you no longer want.
