Troubleshooting iCloud Back Up:


A. Use a Computer, Instead:

Looking to Backup your iPhone? iCloud does not back up everything. So, it is best to back it up to a computer. See here: What does iCloud Back Up? - Apple Support


B. Download All of iCloud:

If you wanted to, you could download all of iCloud, and then trash what is in there. Once trashed, perform the back up.. Perform my User Tip: Getting a Quick and Direct "iCloud Drive-to-External Hard Drive" Download - User Tip. All would be saved, and would then be removed —photos and all. You would then use Finder to browse all of iCloud.


C. Clear Space:

Internal storage cannot be upgraded. It is what it is. So, the maximum internal storage capacity never increases, even if you upgraded your iCloud plan. Learn More here: What's the Difference Between Device Storage and iCloud Storage? Apple Support
