If you thought buying more space in iCloud would increase the available space on your iPhone, it won't. The Storage Full messages you're seeing are likely telling you you are out of space on your iPhone. It doesn't matter how much iCloud storage you buy, the memory on iPhone can never be made larger. If you are out of space on your iPhone itself, you'll have to delete things you don't need or use, such as photos, apps, mail, messages, files, music, etc.

Is it iCloud storage or your iPhone storage that might be full?

If you get iCloud storage full messages, they might be phishing.
If you use iCloud Photos, and have a lot of photos and videos on your phone, the “Optimize iPhone Storage” setting can help to reduce the amount of device storage your photos and videos take up.
But In general, iCloud storage is not a substitute for device storage. They have different characteristics and purposes.
