See About payment card authorization holds in the iTunes Store - Apple Support. It lists some actions that might trigger an authorization hold but there might be others. You could remove the payment method altogether until such time as you actually want to make a purchase, though I realize that adds an additional inconvenience when you do. Change or remove your Apple ID payment information - Apple Support
