I have a huge amount of space available on iCloud. I updated IOS to 18.1.1 but it didn’t work. I only get a message - unable to complete- each time I try. What can be done?
Hello~ Absent of a forced restart …can’t think of anything else except contacting Apple Support. Go to lower left and click on the small Support icon or…

I believe the solution was essentially deleting the choice to backup completely on the iOS device and then reinstating it
Hello.
Have rebooted both iPad and iPhone 5 times today without success and used different WiFi connections.
Problem isn’t the iCloud itself? I have about 45 GB available.
is there anything to be done?
I have the same problem as you! Glad to see I’m not alone my last successful backup was November 18. iOS 18.1.1 and iPadOS must’ve be the culprit. Same issue of heading back up now but after a few seconds, it just says it can’t be completed. Also I have plenty of iCloud storage as I pay for it.
I'm on the phone right now and guess the issue is pretty new, so they're unaware. The person seems to think that iCloud backs up the whole device (50GB) when iCloud backups aren't always the entire device. My says the backup size is 1.8 GB. What did they have you do?

Are you using a VPN? Are you connected to WiFi? Try a different cable?

This was a sudden occurrence after never having a problem before. I can’t figure out how to fix this
I don’t use VPN
Hello each time I try to backup it connects than several seconds later stops and writes that the backup cannot be completed. Strange isn’t it?
Apple service solved the complicated issue. Call them
So what was the solution?
I suddenly cannot backup to iCloud from iPhone and iPad
