Each iOS device has a hard, fixed number of iCloud accounts it can create (all iCloud accounts are free accounts). Once that device has created the maximum number of allowed iCloud accounts, it cannot be used to create any more, ever. There is no way to reset that hard limit on each device.


You will have to find another Apple computer, tablet or phone to create any more accounts. Once created, you'll be able to use that new account of that phone, you just cannot create any new accounts on that phone.
