iCloud backup storage increased after deleting texts and backups in iOS 18.1

I have reported on this before in ios 18. I have the iphone se 3rd generation and ever since I updated to ios 18 the icloud backup storage keeps increasing instead of decreasing. I have deleted texts etc. I do that everyday manually. I am well aware from talking to apple that it takes 24hr-4days to delete on the server end of icloud. BUT its become a problem. Before ios 18 I had 57mb now it is in the 160mb. I am convinced this is a bug in ios 18. They will never admit this though. They will never fix it. I only have 1 photo and 25 contacts. 0 texts. I bought more storage just to be safe. Its like the icloud backup storage number isn't recallobrating correctly.
