What happens to icloud data if I change regions?

What happens if I change regions due to a move? Can I still access my previously saved iCloud data even though I will have to apparently terminate the subscription in one region and change stores?

What happens to my iCloud+ photos & files if I move to a new country? I currently have 2 TB iCloud+ subscription. And my iCloud data is very huge. I've got to know that apple will not allow to change the App Store country until I cancel my current subscriptions and use my Apple Credits. I'm moving to a new country, so what happens to my 2 TB data? Will apple hold my data until I add a new payment method of the country I'm moving or just deletes my data? I'm worried, anyone please suggestions?

change region and iCloud data Hello, I have changed my region in the appstore. I did it very hastily and while I had no significant subscriptions I forgot about iCloud. I have not reverted to the basic version. And I have just received an email that my 200 GB subscription is confirmed. My question is whether I may have lost any iCloud data when switching regions?

Data remains in iCloud for approximately 30 days. I would renew the subscription in the new region as quickly as possible and then you should be able to access the iCloud data if you use the same Apple ID.
