Error on Control Tower "subscribed to the AWS EC2 service"

Question

Dear Gurus,
I am trying to configure the CT on my AWS account, this is new account and has never configured the CT before.

I am getting below error.

`Error

Thank you in advance.

Answer

Your AWS account must be subscribed to a list of AWS services. By default these services include EC2 are enabled. Suggest you launch a t2.micro (free tier) instance and let it runs for 5 mins before terminating it. Then try to launch Control Tower again.

For the list of AWS services, refers to: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/controltower/latest/userguide/getting-started-prereqs.html

Problem is still persist. I created Linux VM and it is running for the last 4 hours approx.
I retry and the issue still occurs.

Are the two child accounts (audit and log archieve) created? If created, are you able to activate them?
