Can't create an Ampere A1 compute instance thus it says I can

Hi community, my issue is that for the past six months I've been trying to create an Ampere A1 instance (Ubuntu 24.04) VM.Standard.A1.Flex Always Free-eligible from 1 OCPU through 4. Below the Placement tag, there's a warning: "Warning: You can create Ampere A1 compute instances in any availability domain. You can create instances using the VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro shape in the vzHg:EU-FRANKFURT-1-AD-2 availability domain." However, when I try to create it, I get an API error stating it's out of capacity or something similar.
Thanks for your time and any help is appreciated!
