Got my in app purchase but wasn’t charged by the App Store

A couple days ago I purchased some things through in app purchasing. Usually when I buy something it is instant and I can see it was taken from my cashapp. But now it isn't showing that it charged my card and I don't have any balance in apple, no gift cards either. Why is it doing this all of a sudden? Am I going to be charged in the future? I don't even have anymore money left on my cashapp so what's going to happen? When I went to buy my things it said I was using apple pay. Any help?

Exact same thing just happened to me and I resolved the issue. What happened was a subscription charge on my debit card failed due to insufficient funds. This makes Apple flag your card and unlink it with your Apple account. To fix it I went to Settings ->Apple ID-> Payment & Shipping. My payment method was highlighted in red which meant I had to relink it. I relinked it and about an hour later my card had been charged.


Hope this helps because I was searching for a solution for hours lol.

dont even get me started. This has been happening for MONTHS. I have a subscription (snapchat plus) and it is supposed to come out on the first of every month. It went 3 months wout coming out and charged me all at once! I also just purchased a chatgpt subscription and it STILL hasnt came out. I got it on sunday!!! This is the most annoying thing ever and makes me not wanna purchase anything anymore.
