Can't change my username to a pre existing user's username

Revision en1, by smooth, 2025-12-27 15:30:15

The recent announcement stated that we can now change our username to one belonging to an account with no activity after 2022 and whose period of activity was less than 180 days. I found some users that meet these criteria, but I’m still unable to change my username, it shows “username already taken” every time. Is anyone else facing the same issue?
