Splunk Cloud Trial Internal Error

Trying to start a cloud trial and get the following error:

"We're sorry, an internal error was detected when creating the stack. Please try again later." 

(Doing it from my Chromebook)

Just wondering if anybody has seen this and knows what it means?

This seems to be a known issue internally. I don't have a lot of detail from my position, but I can see chatter that it's being worked on.

I am also facing this issue. I have written to sales team as well, they have shared me community url to get this resolved but no troubleshooting step for this.

Interesting. Got one of my co-workers who already had a splunk user ID to start a new splunk cloud trial and it worked fine. I then created a new user id for myself and tried again and I got the same error. Perhaps only affecting new users?

Looks like this was resolved, you should be able to start a cloud trial with your new user now.

Same here. I have tried with multiple email accounts (including my work email) for multiple weeks. Does Splunk just not offer this free trial anymore?
