If I use an environment which provides Python 3.12 I can run both

  conda create -n test python=3.10

and 

  conda create -n test python=3.14

I only get the error

  PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

if I do something I would expect to fail, like

  conda create -n test python=3.99

Do you see a line such as

  Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done  

If not, maybe your repodata.json is not getting updated and the current
one does not contain the Python version you are requesting.

Loris
