You can downgrade at any time, so what happens when you choose the 6GB free option?. If you started a free trial, then that must be cancelled at least 24 hours before the subscription period ends to avoid a charge, although you can still use the service until the trial period ends. Downgrade to the free 5GB plan and you will not be charged for iCloud after that subscription ends. If you are subscribed to Apple One, then that includes the 50GB iCloud storage, so you may want to consider cancelling Apple One and just keep the services that you want.

To avoid any data loss, make sure you are not using more than the free amount in the 5GB plan. You can see how to manage your iCloud storage here:

Properly Downgrading iCloud:

1. Download All of iCloud, First:

Prior to downgrading, download all of iCloud. That way you do not lose any data, once downgrading.. Use my user tip: Getting a Quick and Direct "iCloud Drive-to-External Hard Drive" Download - User Tip


then...


2. Downgrade your iCloud Plan:

If you want to get less storage in iCloud, downgrading your iCloud plan is the way to go. Note that this has a monthly fee. Here is the link to user: iCloud+ Plans and Pricing - Apple Support. Note that this service is not available in all countries/regions.
