I have more than enough storage on my new iPad,256G. I have been paying for extra storage for iCloud because I had maxed out mine up in my old iPad.
Why do I still need to pay for extra iCloud storage?
iPad Air, iOS 11

Because a backup of even a fraction of 256 GB of “stuff” doesn’t fit in 5 TB of free iCloud storage, less other app usage.
Backups can also be performed to a local Mac or PC, if you want to do that.
Backups? Why backups? The only way to mark data as being valuable is with backups.
Otherwise, you’re one drop, dunk, fire, failure, mistake, corruption, loss, or theft away from posting a plea for help recovering precious photos or other data. Data recovery which typically isn’t happening. Not without a backup.
To do a backup of your iPhone it’s free but if your iCloud storage it’s full you can’t do a backup until you get one of the iCloud + plan to get enough storage to do backups and keep all your data synced with iCloud
In addition to the advice posted by Katana-San above, please see: Downgrade or cancel your iCloud+ plan - Apple Support
Why do I need extra cloud storage when I just purchased my generation 10 iPad and got rid of my generation six iPad? I also have a 14+256 gig iPhone do I still need extra iCloud storage? Thank you very much Carole

Only if the backup won't fit into the free 5 bGB space.
If I have 256 gigs on my new iPad, why do I need to pay for extra iCloud storage?
