Timeout error during storage account creation

Question

Hi,
I'm getting an timeout when I want to create a storage account. This does not happen with the same browser in another tenant.
Logging out and back on to portal, or using a different browser, does not solve the issue.

{ "shellProps": { "sessionId": "b93ebbbc88f849968e3134c66f8faf80", "extName": "Microsoft_Azure_Storage", "contentName": "StorageAccountCreate.ReactView" }, "error": { "message": "Timed Out", "details": "The experience timed out while loading.", "metadata": [ { "id": "RenderTime", "loading": false }, { "id": "ReduxFreeDecorator", "loading": false }, { "id": "StorageAccountCreate.ReactView", "loading": true }, { "id": "LocationDropdown", "loading": false }, { "id": "ResourceGroupDropdown", "loading": false }, { "id": "LocationDropdown", "loading": true } ], "code": null }}

@Rini Braat ,
using a different browser, might not solve the issue. Did you try to create a storage account in a different region? (I checked Azure status, I don't see any storage service downtime across regions - https://status.azure.com/en-us/status/history/).

The other option might be that you may not have the necessary permissions on your subscription to create a storage account. In order to be able to create a storage account, you will need at least Storage Account Contributor RBAC permissions at the subscription level.

After writing my question above, I was hospilallized unexpectedly, so I was not able to answer.
I'm just discharged now and I looked at the issue again. The problem does not exist anymore ... ?

Without changing anything, now, after a week, the issue seems disappeared, I have no problem creating a new storage account whatsoever.
So thank you for helping in any case!

I am very curious why it was an issue last week, and not any more now. What has changed (by itself)?
