You cannot find macOS Catalina in the "Purchased" tab of the App Store anymore unless you downloaded it previously. However, Apple still hosts the installer files on their software update servers.

This tells your Mac to download the official 10.15.7 installer from Apple’s CDN. It will appear in your Applications folder as Install macOS Catalina.app.

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Catalina.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Catalina --nointeraction
