@Subhan BeyondeBiz , Thanks for using Microsoft Q&A Platform.

There could be many reasons causing this issue. I hope you are aware of these things and already had access: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/computer-vision/overview-identity

Face service access is limited based on eligibility and usage criteria in order to support our Responsible AI principles. Face service is only available to Microsoft managed customers and partners. Use the Face Recognition intake form to apply for access. For more information, see the Face limited access page. Microsoft has retired facial recognition capabilities that is Face API attributes that predict emotion, gender, age, smile, facial hair, hair, and makeup. Read more about this decision here.

Is it possible to share more details with us regarding the face service you are using?

I hope this helps.
