Unable to link microsoft learn profile to Partner center

I am trying to link my Microsoft Learn profile to my organization's Partner Center account for skilling recognition. However, I receive the following error:

"Your linking attempt failed. As per Microsoft policy, you must wait 30 days between linking your personal account to another partner account. You can try again on or after December 4, 2026." 

Please guide me on linking the profile, I'm attempting for the first time.

    The message reports a profile-association cooldown, not a failure to recognize your certification. Microsoft documents a 30-day wait after linking and a limit of three linking or unlinking operations per year. A new company association automatically removes the previous association.

     

    First verify that the Microsoft Learn profile you selected contains your credentials: sign in to Learn and check Profile > Transcript. In Partner Center, review the Microsoft Learn tab and any existing linked account before changing anything. Each user must link their own profile; an administrator cannot link everyone's profiles centrally.

     

    Because you report this is your first attempt, contact Partner Center support with the exact error, displayed eligibility date and affected Learn profile. Ask them to investigate the association record. Do not repeatedly unlink or create another profile to bypass the timer. Once the association succeeds, Microsoft allows up to ten days for credentials to appear.
