Hi @CoreySchroath !

I understand where your frustration is coming from. Since this is an account issue, I highly suggest that you reach out to Shopify support team or advisors so, they can further assist you and check what is causing this error by going through the Shopify Help Center, and enter your concern on AI chat box, respond to it until the “I still need help” or “chat with a support advisor” option appear.
