Hello.
I was wondering about resets on tags..
-How do you know a tag is reset?
-How can a tag be reset?
-When do resets occasionally happen?

I'm new to xbawx.​

You don't technically know if a tag is reset. It gets reset and it becomes available.
Tags get reset by MS employees.
They are random, so they can be reset at any time.

Hope I helped

okay i have contacted xbox an unbelievable amount of times, they say different stuff a lot of the times, but here is what happens with a gamertag from my experience, i might be wrong:

After 9 years of an inactive account, is is locked. Nobody can use it and nobody can get a hold of it. it takes this process SIX more years. after, you can take the account

i asked xbox what this process is even for and they responded with "security."

you know a tag is reset when it is OG and you can get it as your name lol
resets happen after an inactive account, and after the 6 year security process.

idk if this was what you were asking or not, if not, sorry. :\
