This in-app purchase has already been bought it will be restored for free…but it wasn’t.

(Shamefully)Attempting to buy a pack on a game and is say it’s already been purchased and will be restored for free. I have purchased that particular pack before but, in this instance, the purchased didn’t go through, nor was anything restored. This happens on the two games I play.

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 26
