Are usernames recycled?

Hey all, question’s in the title. Was wondering if the changing of one’s username/ deletion of an account impacts username choices. Are they recycled? Or are do they remain as permanently “used up?” users?

I had a friend save a username for me and he changed it when I bought my oculus so I could claim it on my account. It's showing up as unavailable now, and I'd love to figure out if it's lost forever or if there's some sort of cooldown. He waited so long and now I might not get the username at all! I'll respond to this if support gets back to me with something useful. 😞
