I was initially at 63gb storage in my iPhone 13. I have iCloud+ with 50gb extra storage but I wasn’t able to renew my subscription.
Today, I just upgraded to the latest iOS 16.4.1 and when the update finished, I was shocked to see that my storage went from 63gb to 42gb. Is it because I wasn’t able to pay for my iCloud+?

Troubleshooting Upgrading iCloud:
For thought...
Download All of iCloud:
Save a Few: If you wanted to, rather than upgrading your iCloud plan, you could export all of iCloud onto an external disk, trash iCloud storage, and then start iCloudanew. Read my User Tip for more: Getting a Quick and Direct "iCloud Drive-to-External Hard Drive" Download - User Tip

"iCloud+ did manage to optimize my storage. Did I lose that when I upgraded to iOS 16.4 and for not paying?"

All is Fine:
Nothing would have been lost if you upgraded. If you did not pay, then it is pending. So, make the payment, ASAP.
