The core question is: do you have iCloud 5 GB free storage or do you have an iCloud+ subscription?
-> Check -> Go to -> Settings -> your name -> iCloud -> if you see 50 GB (or 200 GB or 2 TB) then you have an iCloud subscription.
If you have an iCloud subscription, you will receive a monthly bill from Apple, check your email box.
👉 iPhone SE 3rd gen is available in -> 64 GB, 128 GB or 256 GB.
Which one do you have?
If you need more iCloud storage, see this Apple article: Upgrade to iCloud+

If you have upgraded iCloud storage, it would take about 1 to 3 business days in order to process.
Once your request for iCloud+ has been activated, you should receive an invoice in your email box.
