I have only used 38 MB on my iCloud, and the phone needs to have back up copy, but it is not possible due to "limited space". My previous back up copy was about 800 MB, and after deleting it and most other things. The back up is still not possible to do.
Is it really possible that the back up copy is over 6 times the size as the previous one?
Hello Bleke,
You can use the steps below to review the approximate size of your next backup:
1. In iOS or iPadOS, go to Settings > [your name].
2. Tap iCloud. At the top, you can check how much iCloud storage you've used.
3. Tap Manage Account Storage or Manage Storage.
4. Tap Backups, then tap the device you're using. Under Last Backup and Backup Size, you can check Next Backup Size. It may take a few minutes for your device to calculate Next Backup Size.
You can also find those steps in this resource: If you can't back up to iCloud - Apple Support
If that menu reports that your next backup is more than your available iCloud storage, you can use a computer to backup your iPhone instead, if you aren't interested in purchasing more iCloud storage:
How to back up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iTunes on your PC - Apple Support
How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch with your Mac - Apple Support
Hopefully those resources put you on the path to getting your iPhone backed up.
Take care.

Yep, this worked well.
It seems that the security back up was bigger than the cloud storage capabilities.
Bleke,
Glad to hear that took care of it. If you need help in the future, create a new thread and the community will assist.
Have a nice day.
Impossible to back up copy to iCloud because of space
