That is temporary iCloud storage (designed to be used when moving to a new phone). The following support article has information about extending it an additional 21 days, about asking Apple Support for even more time, and about subscribing to a larger storage plan for long term use: Get temporary iCloud storage when you buy a new iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
