We are all Apple users, like yourself in this (user-to-user) community, so we often dp not know why Apple does what it does, and Apple is not here to explain. Generally, an Apple Account balance is used for purchases from Apple .... we don't know whether it may be the app-developer who charges you for your app-updates.


Apple Support has an article online that may be helpful..

See: What you can buy with your Apple Gift Card or Apple Account balance - Apple Support

Eg: says:

"Some purchases might require that you have a credit card on file,

even if you use your Apple Account balance to make the purchase."


If needed: You can find out how to pay an unpaid order.

If a message says 'billing problem with previous purchase' or 'verification required' - Apple Support


For more support / info. / contact options. You may want to reach out to Apple:
