AWS Organizations "You have exceeded the allowed number of AWS accounts"


When trying to create a new account in my Organization, I get the following message:

enter image description here

I have a total of 3 accounts under my Organization, including the Management Account.

$ aws organizations list-accounts | jq '.Accounts | length'
3

Organizations limits & quotas documentation tells me the default limit is 10:

10 — The default maximum number of accounts allowed in an organization.

I also have no account invitations that would take space in the count, what would be the reason for this message?

Update

Service quotas is not counting the number of accounts. Utilization field says "Not available":

If I force quota request to 10 for example, it says that it must be greater than the current value.

If my limit is 10, but I have only 3 accounts created, than why is it blocking creation on the Organizations blade?

Update 2

To add to my CLI evidence, I only have 3 accounts created.
