Unable to Create Custom Image on Always Free Instance

I have an Always Free account on Oracle Cloud and I'm currently experiencing an issue while trying to create a custom image from one of my existing compute instances. As far as I understand, creating custom images is a feature that should be supported even in the Always Free tier.

However, every time I try to initiate the image creation process, it either fails or the option appears to be unavailable. I have ensured that my instance is stopped before attempting to create the image, and I am not exceeding any quota or limit.

Could you please clarify whether this functionality is indeed supported under the Always Free tier, and if so, assist me in resolving this issue?

Thank you for your support.

Best regards.
