Hi @Prasannakumarrr 

Don't worry—this is quite common at the moment.

Over the past few days, many community members have reported delays when requesting a PDI. In some cases, the waiting period has been 2-3 weeks or even longer, especially for lower ServiceNow versions.

You can try requesting an instance on an earlier release, such as Zurich or an older version, but there may still be a waiting period due to high demand.

For now, patience is the best approach, as PDI availability depends on overall demand and ServiceNow's infrastructure capacity.

as there's high demand of PDIs it take time, but if yo uwant to start learning then go for trainings and labs, absolute majority is for free and you can have a study instance included.

Quite a few people have found that leaving the waitlist and requesting the same PDI again has worked almost instantly. Worth a try.

I faced the same issue for weeks but today I requested for Australia and it instantly granted me the PDI. Maybe you can try for that now if you want to.
