Office Scripts not loading in Excel for the web (personal account), works in desktop
Hello djaram1991,
Office Scripts for personal and family Microsoft 365 subscriptions are still in preview, according to Microsoft's documentation.
Since your scripts still run in desktop Excel but the Scripts pane and Code Editor fail to load in Excel for the web, this may be a web-side issue rather than a problem with the script files themselves.
I suggest checking whether your account is enrolled in the Microsoft 365 Insider program. You can also report the issue through Help > Feedback in Excel for the web.
It would be useful to check whether the same issue occurs in Microsoft Edge or a private browsing window.

Close the task pane to try again. (note: 3rd part cookies are allowed setting is on).
There are multiple exceptions in console log e.g.:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()
