There are generally three reasons why Xbox players would want to change their gamertag.

Want to change to a new one.

If you’ve been using your gamertag for a while and want to have a new one, you can do that. Keep in mind that only the first change of gamertag is free. If you already changed the original gamertag given to you by Microsoft before, the next change that you’re going to do will cost you something.

The exact cost of changing your Xbox Series X gamertag depends on your country or region. You can check your Microsoft account later on to know what the amount is.

The other possible reason is that someone reported your gamertag. Xbox players can report players or gamertags.
