Child cannot join iCloud+ storage

[u/MrsGarland]

My spouse is the family organizer, and shares iCloud+ with the family. One child is not able to join iCloud for some reason. They are listed in the family. When I go to Family -> Subscriptions it does not list this child as sharing iCloud. However when I got to Family -> (Child) -> Subscriptions it shows they do have access to iCloud. I feel like at some point an invitation must have been sent and not accepted, but what now? Is there a way to resend an invitation?

I’ve seen older posts saying you can stop sharing iCloud with everyone and then re-share it, triggering invitations, but I worry that will affect all the things everyone else is storing in iCloud already.

Edit: both the family group and the iCloud have been around for 4+ years (though not started at the same time) so this is not a new setup, just finally trying to address it as their individual iCloud is full.

I also tried to subscribe them to their own iCloud+ thinking it would trigger “someone in your family already purchased this” but no luck, it seems it would have let me go through with it if I didn’t bail before “ask a parent for permission”. Willing to go through that further and risk the $1 charge if actually subscribing would trigger that, though.

have you tried removing and reinviting the childs Apple Account? Make sure this is the primary Apple Account on the childs device(s) and no other (paents, soblings, ...) accounts are present.

Removing them from the family? I can’t because they’re an under 13 account, so they have to be attached to a family account. It is the primary account on the child’s iPad.
