icloud storage payment

i missed an icloud payment once and when i go to pay it it says payment failed or transaction failed when i’ve got more than enough money to pay for it. I tried to remove my payment method but says i can’t remove it when i have a active subscription and when i look in subscriptions it says apple music but i haven’t been subscribed to it since the 13th of july

iPhone X, iOS 14

"Some purchases might require that you have a credit card on file, even if you use your Apple ID balance to make the purchase." - from: What you can buy with your Apple ID balance --> https://support.apple.com/HT211187

For a variety of reasons Apple will almost always require a functional payment method such as a credit or debit card be present when downloading anything from the iTunes or App Stores that isn't totally free, even if the item will be paid for with Apple Account balance. The only solution is to satisfy this requirement is to add a valid payment method.

- If you are updating an old card and have ongoing subscriptions you may need to first add the new card and make it the primary payment method before deleting the old card.
