How to get out of support projects?

I’m currently working in a support project and whatever I heard from my seniors and fellow guys at work is that nobody stays with this client and company for more than a year or two. I joined here as a fresher with some really good dev skills but the work and tech here is not allowing me to put them to use. I’m feeling like quitting from here, but again need to brush up my skills as I did not put them to use over a period of 14 months. Also there is a lot of micromanagement going on and I’m not comfortable with that. No one takes ownership of work and tries to push it to you and make you work on it.

My 2+ yrs Experience in the company

TLDR : I joined this company back in the end of 2021 and got trained for 3 months and got selected into a project but after 5 months the project got shelved due to billing issues from client side. Anyways after 2 months I got selected into another new project which is Good actually and I got in hands experience and upskilled myself there for almost 10 months then the project was successful and released from it. The worst thing happened is during this time it's my hike and appraisal time, i don't know why but my manager gave me a 3/5 rating even though I performed my tasks within time and in feedback he said your knowledge and skills are good. After 2 months I got moved to a support type project but the thing is I didn't got any work frequently 😞, even when I asked my manager to give me work he's giving only one incident per week and eventually worked for another development team for 2 months regarding a new object but it also got hold due to billing. And worked in that project till November last yr, from December I'm not getting any work or response from the manager. Finally in January I got an email that there is no scope for billing in this project and we are releasing you, so please look into any other project and we are forwarding your resume to others. Now, I am feeling sad because in the span of 2+ years i got work in hands for only 1 year and the remaining time got wasted and another thing is I don't have any project now and my next appraisal is in 5 months from now.

Frustrated from job

feeling like I am literally in the worst phase of my life. Our company is taking ownership of an abroad project and those abroad folks are not supportive or even if they support us then they give little information so that we can't take ownership. so we freshers have to figure out everything, and now even after figuring out, my manager and higher management asks me anything with respect to the product(features, deployment, anything literally- it's a big & complex project) even though I am a fresher and don't even have the proper knowledge and then ask us to explain to them what we know, and it's literally frustrating to explain to every single guy every single time. Because the manager asks to prepare to explain to him and then to the higher manager and then whenever something is there they keep asking again and again to give a presentation or our ideas about it, but they don't even ask abroad folks when they are the one who is doing the work. I just feel like I can't keep up with this and I want to resign. How to say no to the manager for doing a particular work again and again or should I resign because I am feeling very low right now and still after 1 year it looks like I have wasted the time because I got to write code for maybe 5% and 90-95% feels like college presentation. Every time there's something and they ask the same thing 3-4 times, sometimes it would be give the x info or then y info and like this only and because of that i can't do the real work or work on new features because the Indian manager and higher officials keep giving extra work which they should ask from US folks. What should I do please suggest
