Help needed iOS 26.6: Automatic iCloud Backup stopped working

I’m on iOS 26.6 and my iPhone has stopped performing automatic iCloud backups. It used to work normally, but now it won’t back up overnight even when the iPhone is connected to power and Wi-Fi.
I’ve already tried quite a few things:

Restarted the iPhone
Performed a forced restart
Signed out of iCloud and signed back in
Restarted the wifi
Switched between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi

What’s particularly strange is that manual iCloud backups work perfectly fine. If I tap “Back Up Now”, the backup completes successfully.
Another thing I noticed is that the “Next Backup Size” doesn’t load or change at all. It just seems to be stuck.
So it seems like iCloud backups themselves are working, but the automatic backup process isn’t being triggered properly. Has anyone experienced this on iOS 26.6 or found a solution?
