Did the size was < 3 MB ?
I posted dozens of animated GIF (mainly on programming forums) made with ScreenToGif and it has always worked.
My ScreenToGif animation recording vanished for my posting; Is GIF not supported on Microsoft Q&A?

I answered my own question and also went into the trouble of including a working demo with ScreenToGif animation recording, which I uploaded with the answer. There was no rejection during the upload.
I was compelled to use ScreenToGif since at least three Screen Recorder apps (at Microsoft Store) I tried out, all failed to make a basic recording. Now when I looked at my answer, the GIF recording is missing.
I understand GIF is not in vogue anymore and wondered if there is an issue with this animation format. If so, I was wondering why the uploader didn't reject there than quietly remove it.

2023-03-27T08:41:40.24+00:00 Okay, I uploaded as a file rather than as an Image and I can see the file. It means the user must click on the file for the GIF to play. My experience in the past was uploading GIF as an image where the animation happens right away on the page (now it is a file link being shown). The immediate animation on the page seems disabled. Thanks again for the follow up.
