Random iTunes message on Apple Watch

I am getting a random message from "The iTunes Store cannot process purchase at this time. Please try again later". I have no outstanding purchase from iTunes. There is no message on the iPhone either. So why this iTunes Store message. How do I stop receiving it.

Last night I installed OS version 13.2.3 on my Iphone. This did not resolve the issue. I have logged out of "Itunes & App Stores" on all my devices (Iphone and Ipad) and logged back in. The issue still continues. I'm not sure what to try next. Does anybody know if there is a log file generated for these types of errors? If there is a log file created, where can it be found?

Open your Apple Watch app on your phone and go to “My Watch”

Go to Settings/General & turn off Automatic App Install.

Now go back to “My Watch” and scroll to the bottom to see “Available Apps”.

Any apps you see that are trying to install are the culprits causing the notifications!

Delete those apps from your phone, and if necessary reinstall them with your current Apple ID.

Turn Automatic App Install back on if necessary.
