Hi,
I deployed a Unity Catalog metastore some time back (screenshot below).
But when I am trying to create a new one, the create metastore option is disabled. Hovering on the button shows the message: "You must have an active subscription to create a Metastore".
I do have an active subscription. I am able to create and assign new workspaces to existing metastore, but unable to create a new one.
Can someone please help? Thanks.

Are you using Azure Databricks ?? have you recently migrated your classic Global Administration role to RBAC global admin in azure
we had the same issue we fix it by creating metastore from CLI
databricks metastores create {Name} --region {region}
