I’ve been unable to subscribe to games or other services. I get the circle of death. I can download the apps fine but just can’t subscribe. Older subscriptions work fine. I don’t know if it’s in my settings or what else it could be. Does anyone know a fix or explanation for this? Thank you.

You might be best advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page.
Alternatively, you can initiate and manage your support cases from Apple devices using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:
Thank you for the help and advice. I downloaded the Apple support app and got it straightened out. Thanks again!
Unfortunately I already had them set to allow so that is not the problem.
