User level: Level 1 (10 points)iCloud keep saying no storage but the backup size is less than 1G. I have turned off backup for almost everything and the largest single app backup is 5MB. How come it says next backup size is >5G? When the actual backup size is less than several hundred MBs?
Apple is purposely making iCloud broken on iOS 18 X iPhone 13 isn’t it?

Wow. I thought I was the only one. I have the exact same thing going on with iOS 18. Apple told me my account is corrupt, create a new Apple account and to perform a DFU restore. I have created a thread on this today.

if you have an existing backup delete it.
If you need more icloud storage then buy some more, unless you feel your data isn't important to backup.
