Is this a new iCloud address? From:

Change your Apple ID - Apple Support

- There's special instructions if you want to change your Apple ID to an @icloud.com address.

"If you try to change your Apple ID to an @icloud.com email address that was created within the last 30 days, you will be asked to try again later."

Yes, this was a new iCloud.com account. After spending over a hour with apple tech support and then a supervisor, they came to the same conclusion. Guess I’ll try again in a few weeks and see if it works. You’d think they could fix this glitch since iCloud.com is their own platform. Hmmm…

thanks for your reply!

Was the email used for an Apple ID or recovery email before?
