Unable to renew 200 GB iCloud+ plan; only 2 TB option available

I had an iCloud+ subscription with 200 GB of storage, but it couldn’t renew because there wasn’t enough money on my card. Now I want to renew my subscription, but the 200 GB plan is no longer available. The only option I can see is the 2 TB plan, which is too much storage for me, and I don’t want to pay that much every month.




What can I do?

Unless you actually cancelled it, it would still be tied to your account, and it will renew the moment it can be charged. Update your payment method and it will attempt to charge the pending subscription and renew it at that point.


In the USA the 200 GB plan is available - iCloud+ plans and pricing - Apple Support. However if your 2TB plan renewed and you couldn't pay for it then making changes to the subscription may be blocked by pending charges. How apps, content, and subscriptions from Apple are billed - Apple Support says:

“If none of your payment methods can be charged, your account shows a negative balance. You can't buy, download, or update more apps or items until you update your payment method. ”


You will have to pay for any outstanding charges and then try changing your subscription to one of those offered where you reside. Click on the link to learn how to switch to a different subscription plan --> Switch to a different subscription plan - Apple Support
