Unable to set up new E5 sandbox — subscriptions show as Deleted

I have two Microsoft 365 Developer Program E5 sandbox subscriptions that have expired and are now showing as "Deleted" on my Developer Program dashboard. When I go to my profile page, there is no "Set up E5 subscription" button available, so I'm unable to provision a new sandbox.

As per the Developer Program FAQ, I understand that after 60 days have passed since deletion, I should be eligible for a profile reset to activate a new sandbox. It has been longer than that, but the setup option still isn't appearing.

Could you please reset my Developer Program profile so I can set up a new E5 developer sandbox?

Thank you for your help.
