Why does my iCloud backup keep stopping!?

I have tried several times now— each time getting further than the last, but ultimately just starting over!!! I can’t keep doing this. I have the full 2TB plan and there’s no issue with storage space at this time!! What is going on!? My phone screen is on it’s last leg and there are so many things on this phone I need to keep. I need help. Please.

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 15

Hello,

If your iCloud backup is taking longer than expected to complete

  1. In iOS or iPadOS, go to Settings > Wi-Fi. Check that you're connected to Wi-Fi. 
  2. Check your upload speed.
  3. Leave your device connected to power and Wi-Fi for 24 hours. If your backup still isn't done, archive important data then contact Apple Support
