Link basically says to keep device connected for 24 hours then contact Apple support. My details: have to backup my new iPhone 14 Pro to iCloud because I do not have enough room on my iMac. Bought 2 TB iCloud storage. IPhone has 228 GB of data, mostly photos. Backup ran overnight for 10 hours so far and is stuck on "About 8 hours remaining" with size of 212.8 GB and "Backup Size 228.54 GB" I would be happy if it would gradually improve but it seems to be stuck there. My internet speed is 500 Mb.
