Downgrading iCloud storage

If I downgrade my storage to free 5GB and bring my content to less than 5GB at the end of the month that the downgrade is going to happen, will I lose anything? In another word does my account become reset to clean for fresh start or just I will lose the excess amount of over 5GB?

It does not reset or clear your account. Also see the following from Downgrade your iCloud storage - Apple Support


What happens when you decrease your storage plan


When you downgrade your iCloud storage plan, the storage decrease takes effect after your current monthly or annual subscription ends.*


If you downgrade or cancel your plan and your stored iCloud content exceeds your available storage, some of your data will not be uploaded into iCloud. Learn how to manage your storage by deleting information that you don't need anymore.


If you downgrade to the free iCloud Storage plan, you'll have 5GB of storage.
