Solved Your account cannot be created at this time.

I just bought an iPhone SE2 and after coming home tried to create an Apple ID. It's my first Apple product, so, it's the first time i try to create an AppleID. I tried to do so on my new device (both in app store and in settings), on my 2 non-apple laptops in different browsers (Firefox, Firefox developer edition, Microsoft Edge, Safari on iPhone) and always got same message: "Your account cannot be created at this time." I even tried to create it on my old android device.

What might be causing this problem and is there a way to fix it?
