Hey,

I have been facing this issue on one of the projects in appwrite cloud

I am sure that it is a bug because i have the exact same setup on another project and i don't see any issues.

This is happening only while creating a user using account.create()

I have used ID.unique()

I tried custom id generated logjc as well but still get the same error

This is critical, please help

TL;DR
Issue: 409 Conflict error 'user_already_exists' occurring when trying to create a user using account.create() in an Appwrite project. Solution: Check the number of existing users and ensure the email addresses or phone numbers do not match the user being created. Also, verify the uniqueness of the generated ID. This might be a bug specific to the project.

Check how many users there are and whether their email addresses or phone numbers have the same value as the user you entered.

I have 23 users. There is no match with any email addresses or phone numbers

I have tried multiple times with dummy entries as well

I am able to create the same user on console but through account.create() it fails
