Failed to create Retention Policy in Sharepoint 365
I am using SharePoint 365 E3 Trial Subscription to test our application. In one of tests we need to create a Retention Policy for preserving content from SharePoint sites. When I'm trying to create a policy, I'm getting the following error:
We failed to communicate with SharePoint because of: 'The request was aborted: The request was canceled.'.
Request: /api/RetentionCompliance Status code: 500
Exception: Microsoft.Exchange.PswsClient.PswsException

How can I resolve this issue or does anyone know any workaround for it?
I've had a ticket open for this exact error message when trying to create a retention policy in the Security and Compliance center, It has been the same on several newly created tenants. Today all of a sudden it started working so something must have been changed in the back end.
I'm getting the same error on a newly created tenant. I'm trying to publish two labels on a specific site.
Have you gotten any answers yet?

That looks like an issue on the backend, hardly anything you can do. FWIW, I just created a new policy an targeted some SPO site, worked fine. It might have been a temporary issue, so try again. If it still happens, open a support case.
