Hello,
I pay 2tb monthly for iCloud storage and I used 100g of it. Still I find myself without any storage on my phone. Could you please help me resolve this situation and tell me what can I do.
best,

One of the main ways that iCloud storage can help free up some storage space on your iPhone is if you turn on iCloud Photos and also turn on the Optimize Storage option of iCloud Photos. See the information in Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support including the following:
Turn on Optimize Storage
iCloud Photos keeps all your photos and videos in their original, high-resolution version. To save storage space on your device, you can turn on Optimize Storage.
If you turn on Optimize Storage, iCloud Photos automatically manages the size of your library on your device. Your original photos and videos are stored in iCloud and space-saving versions are kept on your device. Your library is optimized only when you need space, starting with the photos and videos you access least. You can download the original photos and videos over Wi-Fi or cellular when you need them.
If you turn on Download Originals, iCloud Photos keeps your original, full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and on your device.
On your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Vision Pro

Device storage and iCloud storage are two very different things.
