Hi team/community,
I’m unable to create a Free Tier cluster in my project. The Create Deployment button becomes disabled (shows “deprecated”) and the process doesn’t proceed.
Steps I have taken:
- Selected Free (M0), AWS provider, region = Mumbai (ap-south-1)
- Browsers tried: Chrome & Firefox (latest versions)
- Attempted in Incognito mode and after clearing cache
- “protected by reCAPTCHA” appears at the bottom
- Project: “Tweeter App Practice”, Cluster name “Cluster0”
- Account email: harshikeshkoili214@gmail.com
- Timestamp: Aug 11, 2025 — cluster creation hangs each time
Attachments:
- Screenshot of the stuck UI
- HAR file (network logs)
- Browser console logs
What I need help with:
- Is there a bug in Mumbai free cluster availability?
- How can I proceed to create a cluster now?
- Is there any server-side restriction for my account or IP?
Thanks in advance for any insight!
