Payment for iCloud+ (50GB storage) billing

I received the following message: “On 11/17/2023 you are scheduled to be charged $0.99 for iCloud+ with 50 GB of storage, but there is a problem with your payment information.Please update your payment information as soon as possible. If we cannot successfully charge your account, it will be downgraded to the free 5 GB plan and your service may be affected.”
