Hello. I previously (more than 30 days) deleted my Apple ID, about which I subsequently received an SMS notification. Will my Apple ID address (in the form of user@icloud.com) ever be available for new registration, and if so, after how long? Or will this address never be accessible again?

"Can I use the primary email address for my deleted Apple ID account to create a new Apple ID or with another existing Apple ID account?
No, once your Apple ID is deleted, you can't use the email address that you used with it to create a new Apple ID. In addition, you can't use that email address with another existing Apple ID except as a rescue [notification] email. Also, if your primary Apple ID email address is with a Custom Email Domain, it can never be reused to create an Apple ID after your Apple ID is deleted, even if the domain ownership changes."

From what others have reported, Apple will not let you re-use any email address you have used with its system before except as a notification address.
The only 30 day reference I have sen is when you create a new iCloud mail account. Then you have to wait 30 days before using it as an Apple ID.
I am new to Mac, so please don't come for me. But I was researching this vary question tonight an realized this is the exact situation I am in.
You actually CAN use the same email. Long story short, I had to completely reset my iPhone 15 plus due to forgetting the passcode. I changed the email and Apple ID to something else for a couple of weeks and thought I would try and create another account with the same one I had previously. They do allow that. Now I have been desperately trying to recover my photos, but they are not in the iCloud of the account using it a second time. However I just discovered tonight that my Apple Watch is still logged into the account from the first time. This is because I have not been using my Apple Watch since I had to reset my phone. Its been dead in a drawer until tonight.
I am in a delicate situation because I am praying there is a way to access the account from the Apple Watch, which is the original account that has all of my photos. I am beyond STRESSED!!! If this makes any sense
I had issues with my ****@iCloud.com username account and my devices telling me to create an iCloud email.
I contacted Apple's customer support - and the support rep informed me that the only way I could fix it was to delete the account, and then recreate it after up to 7 business days.
It's been a couple months, and I'm NOW learning that it can't be done - and I am FURIOUS!!!!
Apple's reps were better trained than that I thought.
Make a new apple id
Thank you. A small clarification, did I understand correctly that I was no longer able to register the previously deleted “login in the icloud domain”? It’s just that in some sources, I found information about about 30 days after which the address is again available for registration (these are unofficial sources)
Another minor addition. My question is not to restore a previously deleted ID, but to create a new Apple ID with the same name in the domain that was previously used and deleted. In this case, everything also remains unchanged, and is this impossible?
Yes I am absolutely annoyed right now. I had an old email address as an Apple ID of an old iCloud account and I'd like to use it as my main Apple ID and cannot add it despite it being deleted for over 30 days.. keep getting the "Invalid Email" notification.
