I got the same error over weeks. If you have MFA in your Microsoft Account Enabled, try disabling it for the creation, it worked for me.

    Thanks for your info.

    I linked my VS subscription to my personal account instead of MS account, and I double confirmed that there is no MFA setting for my account. Then I tried to set up a new tenant with subscription, and still got the same error:

    MS-CorrelationId: 798f42e0-fb92-416c-942e-4f3512746017

    Every time this error occurs, it means that the tenant is created without any subscription in it.
