iCloud payment question iTunes

So basically there is a problem with my payment information for iCloud storage. I won’t be able to pay it on time. Is there perhaps a grace period until I can resume the payment? Or will my data be automatically purged when the payment data arrives?

When the first attempt fails, nothing happens for 30 days and you will still be able to backup your phone daily. After 30 days a second attempt will be made and if that fails you will no longer have the ability to backup further each night and your storage will drop to the free 5GB plan but your data in iCloud will still be there for when you start paying again. I believe Apple purges the data after 6mo of non-payment.
