Hi Raysorli,


The way we understand the issue, you're not able to backup to iCloud because there's not enough storage in iCloud to continue backing up. We have some steps posted below that can help you manage your iCloud storage.


One thing to always check for first, is if you have backups in iCloud for old devices that you no longer use. You can delete those backups and gain back some space:

iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
1. Go to Settings > [your name], then tap iCloud.
2. Tap Manage Account Storage or tap Manage Storage, then tap Backups.
3. Tap the name of the device whose backup you'd like to delete. 
4. Tap Delete Backup > Turn Off & Delete.

Manage your iCloud storage


Let us know if that helps you clear enough space.


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
