"You can't make this change at the moment" - Noticed using a device you don't usually use

I've been trying to register a Facebook developer account for 2-3 weeks now, waiting 48+ hours in between attempts. I've tried multiple strategies listed online, like adding a payment method, adding 2-factor auth, downloading the business suite, and the ads manager, etc. Im assuming my account is flagged for some sort of security reason. Is there any way to get support from the meta staff with this issue? Im really getting frustrated and have spent countless hours trying to resolve this issue.  Please help!

    I have seen on the forum that this seems to be happening to quite a few people recently.

    The “You can’t make this change at the moment” message is usually a trust/security flag on the Facebook account itself, not specifically a developer portal issue. Once the account gets flagged, retrying repeatedly can sometimes extend the cooldown.

    But honestly, at this point this probably requires Meta account support intervention rather than more troubleshooting loops. The frustrating part is that developer support access itself is difficult before activation succeeds.
