Continuing on till 2023-02-25 12:00:00.
The start date time will be 2023-01-27 10:00:00 and end date time 2023-02-25 12:00:00.
for($i = $begin; $i <= $end; $i->modify('+1 day'))
{
$_attribute = array(
'start_date_time' => $i->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
'end_date_time' => $i->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
'user_id' => $user->id
);
\App\models\availability::create($_attribute);
}

You can use CarbonPeriod instead of for loop
$begin = Carbon::parse('2023-01-27');
$end = Carbon::parse('2023-03-25');
$dates = CarbonPeriod::create($being, $end)->toArray();
$now = now(); // needed for created_at and updated_at
$attributes = [];
foreach ($dates as $date) {
$attributes[] = [
'start_date_time' => $date->hour(10)->minute(0)->seconds(0),
'end_date_time' => $date->hour(12)->minute(0)->seconds(0),
'user_id' => $user->id,
// must add these because we are using insert()
'created_at' => $now,
'updated_at' => $now,
];
}
\App\models\availability::insert($attributes);
