Hi ServiceNow Community,
I’m trying to request a free developer instance on the ServiceNow Developer site, but I’m unable to find the "Request Instance" button. I’ve followed the usual steps:
Logged into my developer account.
Navigated to the "Manage" > "Instances" section.
However, the option to request a new instance is not visible. I’ve also tried:
Clearing my browser cache and using different browsers (Chrome, Firefox).
Checking my profile and instance management pages.
Ensuring that I don’t already have an active instance (I’ve released any previous instances).
Could this be due to a recent website update, or am I missing something? Any guidance on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance for your help!
Best regards,

Hi @yuans
According to a message on the dev site, there's currently unscheduled maintenance of PDIs going on:
This issue is likely also disrupting requests for new instances. Unfortunately, your only option is probably to wait until this issue to be resolved.
