Hi angeelina,


If you've already transferred your data, this is just a reminder for when the free iCloud storage will expire. For help with this check out the'Tip" information below found in the article here: Turn on and set up iPad - Apple Support


"Prepare for setup

To make setup as smooth as possible, have the following items available:

  • An internet connection through a Wi-Fi network (you may need the name and password of the network) or cellular data service through a carrier (Wi-Fi + Cellular models)
  • Your Apple ID and password; if you don’t have an Apple ID, you can create one during setup
  • Your credit or debit card account information, if you want to add a card to Apple Pay during setup
  • Your previous iPad or a backup of your device, if you’re transferring your data to your new device
  • Tip: If you don’t have sufficient storage space to back up your device, iCloud will grant you as much as you need to complete a temporary backup, free of charge, for up to three weeks from the purchase of your iPad. On your previous device, go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset [device]. Tap Get Started, then follow the onscreen instructions.
  • Your Android device, if you’re transferring your Android content"


As mentioned in the article and above "iCloud will grant you as much as you need to complete a temporary backup, free of charge, for up to three weeks from the purchase of your iPad." In the screenshot it appears you have 10 days left of the free storage. If everything as transferred over as expected you'll be fin after the 10 day period as your iCloud storage shows well under the 5GB.


If the alert isn't cleared after 10 days, reach out to Apple Support directly to further assist.
