I've been trying to Setup free Microsoft 365 E5 developer Subscription but I've been getting for more than one week. "The service might be unavailable".
When I tried to create it using a domain for example "xyz" "username@xyz .onmicrosoft.com" it failed.
Although it failed, when I tried again with the same domain "xyz", it gave "domain name has taken"
I would appreciate you help.

    Hi, @Mohammad Amer ,

    According to the error information , it seems you are trying to request for the subscription at a busy time, and the domain name you try to use has been taken before. I will suggest you to get a new name for your domain and try again at another time.

    If this issue keeps bringing troubles, you can post the issue here. It is a forum focusing on billing and account issues.
