I am seeing the following message when I am creating a language resource under the default resource group: "The free tier (F0) for this resource type is already being used by your subscription, therefore it will not appear in the dropdown below.". I have deleted all the resources under the "only" resource group I have. User's image

    I had the same issue and I finally found that the solution is to purge the previously deleted resources. In my case, I searched for "Language Service" in the search bar and then clicked over the "Manage deleted resources". Then I selected all and clicked "Purge. Hope this helps!

    The Cognitive Services are Rebranded as AI Foundry, and you can find it under AI Foundry, select Manage Deleted Resources and select and Purge the deleted resources, after this you will be able to again see the Free tier in the previously used region User's image
