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:
- Check Recommended for You
- Reduce the size of your iCloud Backup
- Delete photos in iCloud Photos
- Delete folders or files in iCloud Drive
- Delete texts and attachments in Messages
- Delete messages and manage Mail
- Delete voice memos
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.
