What do I do with the message “your iPhone has not been backed up for 36 days” when I have plenty of storage and my phone is on WiFi, locked and plugged in???

I went through a period of time a year or so ago when my iPhone 8 was not regularly backing up when connected in the manner you describe. Sometimes it would, sometimes it wouldn't and I never could figure out what was going on. Seems like it started backing up as expected after the iOS 14.x upgrade. It always puzzled me.
