When backing up photo library to iCloud session times out

I'm trying to understand how iCloud works.. When my photos are being back up it keeps shoe a message that says iCloud session has timed out it disconnect? What does that mean? I just want it to work so I free up space to do the update.

This happens every once in a while. The best solution I have found, is to do a backup to your local PC, then delete the existing icloud backup, restart your phone, and then do another backup. This should resolve your issue.

Welcome to iMore!

Try resetting your network settings; Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. If that does not help then it may just be a poor connection on either your end (try switching to WiFi or use another WiFi access point), or the iCloud service having issues.
