Yes. iCloud storage is billed monthly. When you cancel, the change takes effect at the end of that billing month. iCloud storage is similar to renting physical storage space or renting an apartment. You pay monthly but the storage doesn't get larger.
See information in Downgrade or cancel your iCloud+ plan - Apple Support including the following:
If you downgrade or cancel your iCloud+ plan, the change takes effect after your current subscription billing period ends.1
What happens when you downgrade or cancel iCloud+
- If your iCloud storage exceeds your new storage plan capacity, iCloud won't sync or update your information. iCloud updates again when you increase your storage capacity or delete information to make more space.
- If you downgrade to the free iCloud plan, you will no longer have access to iCloud+ features like Hide My Email, Private Relay, and HomeKit Secure Video support.2
- If you pay for both Apple One and an iCloud+ plan, you can downgrade or cancel the iCloud+ plan and just use the iCloud+ plan included in Apple One. After you select Change Storage Plan, there might be additional steps before you can downgrade or cancel your storage.
