How to pay for a new gamertag without a number?

When you change your tag you would have to change it to one that no one else has and one without special characters.

I changed my gamertag to "tosya" thinking that it would be "tosya" in-game, but it's "tosya7641" instead. I thought that the number would only be for adding a friend etc. like how it is in Discord. I wasn't informed that I would not have the gamertag
i picked. If I knew that I would have picked a different gamertag. I want to either change only my classic gamertag without paying for a gamertag change, or revert to my old gamertag.

If the xbox game dose not support the new gamer tag it will put numbers in your gamertag

Tpu pay and ypu have a new gamertag of ypu want a new gamertag without paying then make a new Microsoft Account it os that simple...

Im having the exact same issue, the problem is that looking around I saw that after the first gamer tag change it was no longer free and you have to pay for a new gamertag change, wouldnt this be like:

Change my name to something else>hope no one takes my original name>pay for a new gamertag change for a name> go back to the name I already had but without those annoying numbers?

and wouldnt the people who already changed it bc they thought the numbers wouldnt show pay the gamertag change twice? 🤔

This is the new gamertag system - if you change it again you'll be given to choose both a "new" gamertag (with the numbers) and an "old" gamertag (without the numbers, and this is what will be displayed in just about everything that uses Xbox Live).
