New tenant not visable in Entra

I went to Entra to create a new tenant. I input the information requested and submitted it. It said it was working on it, and that it would take up to 10 minutes to complete. It's been over 4 hours, but I still don't see the tenant there. When I try to create it again, it now says the domain name has already been taken. So, it seems like it is created in whole or part, yet I still can't see it. I have Global Admin privs.

Ideas?

    Hi @Byron

    Since the tenant still doesn't appear and the domain is now reported as already taken, the creation process may have reserved the domain without successfully completing tenant provisioning.

    Could you please try switching directories using the account menu in the upper-right corner of the Microsoft Entra admin center and check whether the new tenant appears there?

    If the tenant is not listed, I would recommend contacting Microsoft Support for further investigation. They can check the backend provisioning status and determine whether the tenant creation is stuck or if the domain was reserved without the tenant being fully provisioned.

    For further instructions, you can follow this guide: Get support - Microsoft 365 admin | Microsoft Learn.
