I ran across this error when attempting to schedule a clone while authenticating:
Destination does not appear to be a Service-now.com instance
As it turns out, the error is less than helpful. The issue turned out to be that our clone ID did not have appropriate roles. Once I granted the roles to the ID, I was able to schedule the clone.
Posting this for the next person to trip over this.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @Sue_Frost
https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0863678
Resolution
1. Ref.: Scripted SOAP Web Service
- On the target instance, go to System Web Services > Scripted SOAP Services.
- Click on the "HAGetParams" web service record.
- Click on the "Active" Check box and Save.
- On the Source instance, create the Clone target record (should be created without any errors).
2. Ref.: Unable to place clone request because target instance does not have HA Plugin installed - KB0816142
3. Verify the user used for authenticating the clone has 'admin' role assigned on the target instance.
If my response proves useful, please indicate its helpfulness by selecting " Accept as Solution" and " Helpful." This action benefits both the community and me.

Apologies if I wasn't clear.
I'm posting this as FYI because there is nothing available on the specific error that I saw.
If the HA Plugin is missing, that apparently generates a different error.
Thanks for adding more information.
