'The iTunes Store is unable to process purchases' error when buying Minecraft on App Store

I’m trying to purchase minecraft on the app store but whenever I try, a notice keeps popping up saying “The iTunes Store is unable to process purchases at this time. Please try again later.”


I asked AI to help me with what I could do, and I believe I already did everything I could, such as restarting my phone, removing my payment method and adding it back again, turning off wifi, etc. I just wanna play minecraft :’) Help me please!
