Your purchase could not be completed
Traded in a couple Apple items in the past couple months so I had $230 and $160 in gift cards direct from Apple. When I went to go make a purchase a couple weeks ago, the larger GC would not work. Support told me to use the "add to account" button on the Email to add it to my Apple Account Balance.
This was successful, so thought my problem was over. I tried to buy a Magic Keyboard with the acct balance, but still had an error, and had to wait 72 hours for them to give me "permission" to use my funds.
Again, I tried to use $8 to purchase an app today from my Apple Account Balance, and got the same issue:

Dear Customer,

It's getting painful to just have to wait 2-3 days every time now. All I can think of is I use CloudFlare VPN that might trigger Security rules on the backend, but Support never says anything about this. They have no visibility and I just have to wait 2-3 days again just to use my own funds. That were put there from Gift Cards issues to me from Apple directly.
