Can I restore deleted iPhone data by renewing iCloud storage?

I have an IPhone 15 Pro max and is software is 18.6.2. Few days ago I had a problem where my phone froze and I was trying to reset the setting. Once I did everything was deleted all the information that the apps was deleted. I used to have an extra iCloud storage and I used to pay for it but looking back to my email looks like it was stopped on June 2025 and I did realize that until three days ago, I’m not sure what card I used before but I’m wondering if I pay now would I be able to restore everything? Therefore I opened my phone is working and I have my iCloud open but nothing is backed up and I’m not able to pick up everything I need help as soon as possible please and thank you.

I am sorry, but you have no backup of your iPhone. There is no way for you to restore data to your phone that was deleted many months ago.

Please set up automatic daily backups to iCloud, so you can avoid losing more data in the future.

Having Not Paid the Renewal, All is Lost, if Not Backed Up:

IF it is gone, then it is gone. Loss of data due to not repaying what is due, is something you would have agreed to upon opening an Apple Account along with signing up for an Apple iCloud+ Subscription. So, as for downloading Apple iCloud Drive, perform this method: Getting a Quick and Direct "iCloud Drive-to-External Hard Drive" Download - User Tip
