Unable to upgrade iCloud plan due to an endless “manage subscription” loop.

I’m trying to upgrade my iCloud subscription but I end up in an endless loop.


it goes Settings > Account > iCloud > Manage Plan > iCloud+ > Manage iCloud Storage > Change Storage Plan > iCloud+ > Manage iCloud Storage > Change Storage Plan > loop indefinitely


need this asap as i want to upgrade the space before month end. I don’t get what’s the problem and why can’t we just manage our plan on browser. Even when i try to use iCloud on windows to change the plan, i get redirect back to my device.


worst part is all my devices face the same issue so i have no idea what is wrong. Payment details are all updated and correct.

Troubleshooting iCloud Drive Management:


A. Remove VPNs:

Have any VPNs turned on? If so, remove them from your device, or just turn them off, if required for school or work.


B. Download All of iCloud Drive:

If you wanted to, you could download all of iCloud Drive, and then trash what is in there. Perform my User Tip: Getting a Quick and Direct "iCloud Drive-to-External Hard Drive" Download - User Tip. All would be saved, and would then be removed. You would then use Finder to browse all of iCloud.

A Tip for iPhone Storage Management:


If Having Issues with iPhone Storage:

Caches may have intensely uploaded. So, clear them.


Troubleshooting iPhone Storage:

Internal storage cannot be upgraded. It is what it is. So, the maximum internal storage capacity never increases, even if you upgraded your iCloud plan. Learn More here: What's the Difference Between Device Storage and iCloud Storage? Apple Support
