Why does my phone constantly tell me that it can’t Backup to cloud because of lack of storage. It will not backup automatically, but when i back up manually it does cause i have storage space. What do i stop these constant waning of lack of space and constantly Apple`s nagging me to pay for extra storage i do not need.

You get 5GB of free storage in iCloud, which has absolutely NOTHING to do with how much storage you have on your iPhone. Once you use up that 5GB of iCloud storage, you'll get warning you can't backup to iCloud until you buy additional storage.
On your iPhone, go to Settings > Tap you name at the the top > Tap iCloud and look at how much storage you have used. If you are out of space, you can't backup to iCloud. You can purchase more iCloud Storage if you need more.

For $1 per month, you upgrade to 50GB of storage space in iCloud, which is very reasonable.

I am taking about the 5Gb icloud i keep being told i cant backup to cloud because i lack storage, but i have not used the 5Gb still have space. I am close to the limit 300Mb left, but more than enough space for the backup.
Thats why i find it strange they keep telling me to upgrade and auto backup will not start.
How can I prevent my iPhone from constantly warning about lack of iCloud storage?
