We have been unable to sign up for a developer account the past 2 days. When we click on the “Get Started” button after filling out all required fields, the button flashes for a moment, but then no other response from the page.
We have tried:
Using a different email address
Using a different browser (chrome, Edge)
Clearing cache and cookies
Using Incognito mode
Trying to sign up on a mobile phone on both wifi and cellular network
I notice a request outgoing in the network tab:
