You may need to have a valid payment method on file, even if the app you want to download is free.
You will receive an invoice from Apple on your default payment method, regardless of the iCloud+ subscription and/or the purchase of apps, music, etc.
If you have set your Apple Account balance as your default payment method, your default payment method will be used first by Apple when you need to make a payment.
Some purchases might require you to have a credit card on file, even if you use your Apple Account balance to make the purchase.
