App store won’t let me install free apps “Verificatiin Required”

i’m no longer able to install any free apps, there’s always a prompt “verification required” that asks me to update my payment information. After I update it, it acts like I never updated it and when i go to install the app again, it prompts me again with the same message.

iPhone 12, iOS 16
