Backup starts, tells time remaining, (2-4 mins) then fails. Tells when last successful backup happened.

iCloud backup taking over 24 hours on iPhone 12 Why is iCloud backup taking so long on my iPhone? Using an iPhone 12 with 64GB iOS: 26.3 ICloud account capacity 200GB Amount of data to be backed up: 3.9GB iCloud backup has been working fine for this phone since I bought it new. I got a notice the other day that backup had not been performed for over 2 weeks (weird), so I accessed iCloud Backup and clicked on "Backup Now". Backup started and took a long time to analyze before displaying "About 15 minutes remaining. And then the time remaining began climbing and climbing to an hour, 5 hours, 18 hours, and now it says "About 1 day", but it has already been running for over 24 hours. What could be causing this? How do I resolve it?

iCloud backup never finishes backing up My iPad never completes its backup process. It starts then says 5 hours remaining but never progresses further than that. Even when I have it plugged in and connected to wifi overnight and all day. My last automatic backup was 3 weeks ago, so it was working up until recently. I have turned the backup option off then back on. I’ve powered off the iPad and powered it back on. Neither of these things have resolved the issue.
