I have 2.8 GB left of the 5 GB, and my iOS device backups only take up 1.9 GB. Everything else stored is in the low MBs. Yet, I constantly get reminded that my "Your iCloud storage is full" when I open Notes.

What gives?
 
They want your $$$ for more storage, yo. There's probably a service that runs around 3-2.5GB notifying you of low storage. I can see how that would be really annoying on the 5GB free option, but for those with 50GB or 100GB, a notification like that would be much more useful.

Does the message say "almost full" or are you getting the message saying it's full and nothing can be backed up?

Yeah, I was figuring the same thing...

You either missed my notification or couldn't be bothered to reply.

Either way, have you recently bought a new iOS device? When one purchases a new device and it tries to make an iCloud backup, there isn't sufficient space for a completely new device backup.

You missed the part in my initial post where I said my iOS backups take up 1.9 GB of space in total and there's 2.8 GB remaining :)

My iOS devices don't back up anything requiring large amounts of storage.
