_api/SPSiteManager/Create site creation failing with sitestatus 3

Question

I am trying to create a new site and receive a site status of 3 but a 200 OK. I read somewhere that a status of 3 means the site is still being created but it has been some hours. In the docs it seems to say the status of 3 is a error but nothing more. I looked in the GitHub feedback section and it appeared that creating team sites with STS#3 is a problem but there was no solution and it went stale. I have also tried creating a communication site and get the same results. There is also no such site in the recycle bin which I have seen sometimes causes errors.

The request url: https://tenant.sharepoint.com/_api/SPSiteManager/Create

"request": {
  "Title": "Teams Site 1",
  "Url":"https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/TeamSiteTest",
  "Lcid": 1033,
  "ShareByEmailEnabled":false,
  "Classification":"Low Business Impact",
  "Description":"Test Site Creation",

  "Owner":"[email protected]",
  "WebTemplateExtensionId":"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"}
