How to disable Mac prompt to connect to iCloud

Long story short--I don't want to connect my mac to my iCloud account, but every time I login to my laptop, I get three popups in a row that say "This Mac Can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with [my email] ...".

I can't find a setting that allows me to disable this, and online searches have been fruitless.

    I’m not sure what you’ve already tried, but I’d start with this: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208242 If that doesn’t work, you may need to sign in first, disable anything iCloud in settings,...

    If that doesn’t work, you may need to sign in first, disable anything iCloud in settings, then sign out again.

    Is it possible to disable iCloud starting on log in? I know I had to remove steam from some list of apps that are set to automatically start at log in.
