A message saying, "The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone" or, "This iPhone has been used to create/setup too many new Apple IDs" is discussed in the support document: "If you see a Could Not Create Apple ID or Could Not Set Up iCloud message." Click on this link to read it. --> https://support.apple.com/HT210743

This message generally means that you have exceeded the number of Apple IDs you can set up with iCloud, or create as new IDs, on a single device in one year. See the recommendations in the link on alternative methods for setting up iCloud accounts, e.g. on a computer, or contact Apple Support if requested:
