How to resolve 'couldn't connect to server' or 'too many sign-in attempts' when logging into iCloud?

I'm able to login to my apple account but not my icloud account, it keeps giving the prompt "couldn't connect to server" or "too many sign in have been done on this device". But my icloud can login on another iphone. Anyone help, please.

There is no such thing as an “iCloud Account”. You sign in to iCloud using your Apple Account.


I believe what’s happening you’re trying to say is you can sign in to your Apple Account just fine, but that sign in does not work on one particular device.


This article explains.

If you see “The maximum number of free accounts have been activated” - Apple Support


Perhaps this applies.

If you can't connect to the App Store, iTunes Store, or other Apple services - Apple Support
