"iCloud cannot back up because not enough storage, but I DO have enough storage."

Other Devices Taking Up this Space:
Know that you are using only this device. So, if you have any other device, then it may be using up all of this space.
I only want to back up contacts, notes, a couple other small things, but the phone says I don't have enough storage space when I selected only 29.8 MB of 5 GB available. Also backup size is zero KB, but next backup size is 7.44 GB. This is nonsense! What is going on, and more importantly, how do I fix this?? I JUST WANT TO BACK UP MY CONTACTS!
I am only using this device, an iPhone 16.
I read this and other support documents already and they do not address my issue.
