I was trying to create a new appleid but not matter what I try it always says that my account cannot be completed at this time. I’ve used multiple devices using the same info but it doesn’t work! Can I not not use the same phone number?
iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 16
An "at this time" message appears to be a new, and unfortunately somewhat non-specific Apple catch-all error message. It could mean that you cannot connect to the Apple service you need to use, or it could mean there is something else wrong in your information entry (but it doesn't tell you what exactly), and once you correct that, _then_ it is the right time. ;-)
Check if Apple's servers are working: Apple - Support - System Status
Check what you are doing is valid and has all the information required. Sometimes an "at this time" message doesn't really mean something isn't working now but might be later; it instead can mean there is some other issue with the validity of the action (e.g., missing information) you are trying to perform and once you take care of that issue then it can do it. Check Apple's documentation about the action you are trying to do and if you still have problems contact official Apple Support:

If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.
