Unable to upgrade iCloud storage from 50GB to 200GB on iPhone

Seems like an old tedious problem. Just moved over to a new phone as the old one was broken. I'm out of storage and need to upgrade storage from 50 to 200GByte. Repeatedly says 'ping' and done, then returns to not enough storage. Yes I've restarted the phone.
