I'm trying to complete "Exercise - Create an Azure virtual machine" but I'm no longer able to access the Cloud Shell. It used to work, but now I'm greeted with "Configuring Cloud Shell for sandbox access..." and nothing else. Prior to this happening I started getting authorization errors when trying to create the VM in the exercise and now it appears that I'm completely locked out of it. Any help would be appreciated.
This question is related to the following Learning Module

I would recommend you sign out and log back into your user before trying again. If this does not resolve, here are more steps to resolve:
Refresh the page: Reload the browser to see if it resolves the problem.
Clear browser cache: Delete cached data and try accessing the sandbox shell again.
Use a different browser: Try another web browser to check if the issue is browser specific.
Firewall and proxy settings: Verify network settings to ensure they're not blocking the connection.
Incognito/Private mode: Open the sandbox shell in incognito/private mode to rule out browser-related issues.

I have done all these things and still the same result.
Additionally, it did not start out this way. The shell would work just fine and then it would freeze on me in the above mentioned state.
