Not enough storage in iCloud but it shows I do have a lot of space

The bar at the top of storage use is very low but when I try to back up my phone it says not enough iCloud storage.

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hello McHome4012,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you’re unable to back up to iCloud due to low iCloud storage. We are happy to help.


Please use the steps here to manage iCloud storage: Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support


"Make more space available in iCloud

If you run out of iCloud storage, your device won’t back up to iCloud, new photos and videos won't upload to iCloud Photos, and iCloud Drive and other iCloud apps won't stay up to date across your devices. And you also won't be able to send or receive emails with your iCloud email address.

You can free up storage in iCloud by deleting content that you're not using:

Before you delete anything, you might want to archive or make copies of the information that you store in iCloud."


These steps may help. Please let us know if you have further questions.


Take care.
