How do I redownload apps without apple trying to charge me?

I’m trying to redownload a game, and when I try to redownload it asks for my Apple ID password. When I put that in, it tries to charge me. Is there a way to do this without getting charged?

iPhone SE, iOS 14

If you can’t download or update apps on your iPhone or iPad - https://support.apple.com/HT207165

- "You might need to have a payment method on file, even if the app that you want to download is free." If you have something else on your account that requires a payment method, such as a subscription, and your current payment method is not working then Apple won't let you download even free things until you fix the payment method. This is explained in this document, 'If your payment method is declined in the App Store or iTunes Store' - https://support.apple.com/HT203005


You need to fix the payment method displayed in red.
