Downgrading iCloud storage to the Free 5GB

I've downloaded my son's iCloud storage account to "Free" as the Apple Help article describes. Under "Change Plan" is now has a tick against the "Free" but even after restarting the phone, the storage plan shows as 50GB. Is this an Apple bug, or will it eventually update in settings?

iPhone 11, iOS 16

I am not able to downgrade my iCloud storage to the free 5GB on my iPhone When you click icloud on settings then manage storage option there you’ll find the downgrade option at the very bottom, now when you click that you’ll be presented with downgrade options. The problem is when i want to choose the free 5gb on icloud but i can’t even click done or proceed, IT WONT LET ME… And yes I have tried this on another device and i have also decreased my icloud storage to 606mb it still does NOT work. I have an online payment today I hope they solve this issue. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Downgrades don't take effect until the end of the current billing cycle.
