Can't backup phone to icloud

I am unable to backup iphone even though I have 2GB free on icloud. How much does iCloud need then to complete a backup for the 5GB plan??

iphone14 won’t backup bc icloud storage is full bc there’s 50g but i’d like to backup to my phones internal storage seeing as it’s 256g storage and backup issues. i’d like to backup icloud (50g) to phone internal (256g) because it makes sense. but won’t allow me to do any sort of backup bc storage is full or almost in icloud but there’s plenty of space internally

It will need enough free space to back up the data on your phone. That is most likely far more than the 5GB that’s provided for free.

You can either pay for more icloud storage or back it up to your computer.
