There was shortage of iCloud storage space , most of the space was occupied by personal documents and the same space was about to exhaust as it was reaching the limit 5GB , you can cross check files by date in advanced section from www.icloud.com using a web browser and restore Recover deleted files on iCloud.com - Apple Support

Purchasing icloud storage will increase the space , previous deleted files are erased permanently after 30 days from server and can't be recovered .
