Can you use Apple temporary backup for an iPhone repair?

Hi rbonhamoai,

Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.

Looking over the details for the temporary iCloud storage space, that is a service Apple provides when purchasing a new iPhone.

If you need to back up your iPhone before service, you can purchase additional storage, and cancel when it's no longer needed.
