Have you checked Settings, iCloud for storage available?

I seem to remember that you cannot use a gift card balance for a recurring service like Icloud+

Add a proper credit or debit card

LD150’s recollections are correct:


”… For some recurring charges, like AppleCare+, you can't start your subscription with Apple Account balance. But as long as you keep another valid payment method on file and your Apple Account balance would cover an entire charge, your recurring charge will be pulled from your Apple Account balance …”
