Hello,

  1. Having bought extra iCloud Storage, does not mean it cannot ever get full, it just means it can hold more stuff before it does so, but if you are storing large backups and other content that takes up lots of space like videos and large files it can be filled up.
  2. How much storage does it say you are using in iCloud? click here ➜ Manage your iCloud storage on your Apple device - Apple Support
  3. Are you sure it's referring to iCloud storage and not your device's local storage capacity? Those are different things and iCloud storage will not increase your devices local capacity. click here ➜ What's the difference between iCloud storage and device storage on your iPhone or iPad? - Apple Support
  4. If you are paying for 200GB and its full, it will suggest the next available tier which is 2TB.
