Problems with playstation plus and save files backup - Top view monochrome of various plastic bottles and kitchen utensil polluting planet on green background

I recently purchased playstation plus using a prepaid card (a prepaid subscription not a top up one). I entered the code and everything works perfectly. I downloaded this months PSplus games on my device. The problem that I have is I am trying to setup the auto-update and save file backup feature but it keeps asking me to join playstation plus. Why is this happening? I am using the same PSN account that I redeemed the code from.
