Not sure what you are asking. We assume that you already have adequate storage space on iCloud. The iPhone's screen will normally lock after a few minutes of inactivity.

iCloud backups occur automatically every 24 hours when the phone is plugged into power and on Wi-Fi........unless you are doing manual backups only.

If the phone is plugged into the charger, the screen will lock automatically after a few minutes.
