It appears the lottery is only checking for first time purchases and not considering relocations.

EDIT: I was able to put in a bid using an alt from the same service account, but my character that is the fc lead was unable to bid.

Same as OP's post.

Housing requirement and guide clearly says:

If the character in question purchased the plot, they may still submit a lottery entry for the purposes of relocation.

■ Steps:
- character with FC purchase/relinquish land privilages present in the FC longer than 30 days
- interact with a placard in an FC-only ward and select enter lottery and confirm lottery conditions
- error message is generated: "Lottery entry and plot purchase unavailable. No more land may be purchased on this world by characters attached to this service account."

This message was generated for each of these characters:
- FC leader (no private plot)
- alt with private plot
- alt without private plot

I've already reported this issue during the previous lottery cycle:
https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...04#post5904804

UPDATE:
I was able to place a bid using a character that had orignally purchased the currently owned FC plot.
All other characters on this service account & world that are FC members get the error message.
As far as I can tell most people that I know have not encountered this issue when using different characters to place bids for FC plots.

■ Steps:
1. Placed a bid when the lottery opened this morning (5/26/22 8AM PST) to relocate my Free Company from a Small to a Medium plot.
2. Logged onto another character to do the same, receive the error message: "Lottery entry and plot purchase unavailable. No more land may be purchased on this world by characters attached to this service account."
3. Logged onto a third character, who also received the error message.
-Another FC member was able to place two bids on two different characters.
-I traded two of my FC members my gil that I was going to use for my two bids and they were both able to bid as well. Only my account seems to be unable to bid for relocation anymore.

I have 2 characters on this world, both members of the same FC (700+ days). Neither of whom are leaders of the FC (both lowest rank). Character 1 (Inflection Point) originally purchased land for the FC 700+ days ago and was able to put in a bid for this plot of land. Character 2 (Alfred Sinosen) gets the error message. 3 friends on 3 other accounts were able to successfully place bids on this land on both of their characters on this world (one of whom owns a private house as well).
