Text to speech error timeout waiting for the first audio chunk

Question

Dear developers, when I was working on text to speech, I had been using your demo code to generate it perfectly, but yesterday it suddenly stopped working and kept reporting the error message: Speech synthesis canceled: CancellationReason.
Error details: USP error: timeout waiting for the first audio chunk
Did you set the speech resource key and region values?

I found out that you changed the way subscription and region are written, so I added the environment variables to my computer, but it still doesn't work, so I'm sad to know what the problem is.
But it is worth mentioning that on the day before yesterday (that is, the day before this module does not work), because my leader deactivated the credit card of this account without my knowledge, I wonder if this is the reason for the non-availability? But then my leader reactivated the card, but it was also not available, and even though we reapplied for the account and changed the card, it was still not available, (although the phone number in the account was the same as the phone number in the previous account)

I'm really frustrated, I've been looking at the lines of code of your demo for two days, but I didn't find any error.

I sincerely hope to communicate with you, can you teach me why this does not work? Is there something wrong, is there something I don't see that is different from the previous changes, or is there something wrong with my account?

Thank you, best wishes for your all.
