Backup phone fail

I have tried to backup my iPhone several times and the backup never completes. The blue line appears showing estimated time but it only moves about 1/8th of the way and just keepsake spinning

iPhone 11, iOS 15

IF this is your first time backing up to icloud it will take a long time. Best time to do it is when you go to sleep, plug to power outlet, wifi and lock the phone.
