Anybody else trying to create demo tenants on demos.microsoft.com?

Last week the new tenant templates were all unavailable.  Today, the new demos site just fails with unexpected errors:

I'm glad i don't have any customer demos scheduled today!

[#2]

it seems the old tenants are not available anymore.. maybe only dashboard.

Can you login via portal.office.com? or does that not work as well?

[#3]

I can still log into my old tenants that I have been using for development purposes. But creating clean new tenants is currently not possible.

[#4]

i can create a tenant but need to fill in a pin. I know they changed something due to the generic passwords which were used to do other things in demo tenants..

[#5]

Hi @Deleted,

I'm getting to the point of the Pin form but then when the tenant is being created I get:

JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

[#6]

for me it worked :( did it in Chrome.

[#7]

I tried this in IE, Edge and Chrome, but I'm getting a failing result in all. the message in  Chrome is slightly different.  

Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0

I have asked a colleague to do the same and he's getting the same failing result (in Chrome).

[#8]

Mmm that is strange did they block the UK ;)

i guess i am on a different tenant.

[#9]

Lots of people have been having problems. This thread claims that it should be fixed today, https://www.yammer.com/office365partners/threads/892659595

[#10]

It's what my support call on friday said as well. That's why they closed it on friday as it would be fixed on Monday.

[#11]

I'm now getting: "No tenants are currently available". So it looks like someone is working on this. ;)

[#12]

I'm now getting:

The EmailAddress 'pieterveenstra@....' has already reached it's daily quota of 5 tenants

So even though I still haven't got any tenants created, and things are still not working, I have reached my daily limit.

[#13]

Demos is now fully back, also the default password is now a lot better no pass@***** anymore.

[#14]

@Pieter Veenstra that is what i said they changed it due to misusage

[#15]

Today we tried to create a tenant and we got a message: "Tenant creation is currently unavailable"

There is also a notification "Due to a service issue, Partner tenant acquisition will be unavailable until further notice. Once the service issue has been resolved, Partner tenant acquisition will be re-enabled".

Is there any news about this?

[#16]

Hey All - its back up in NZ, but only for empty tenants. I kind of miss Ben and Miriam...

"Tenants without demo content are now available. However, tenants containing demo content are still unavailable until further notice"

[#17]

I lie - just created a new one - users are back. Just no content. That works for me.

[#18]

Thank you for sharing! I noticed myself last week but forgot to share the info.

[#19]

This still seems to be broken, I'm getting the following when trying to start a new tenant:

Tenant creation is currently unavailable

Any update?
