@gcoffeycs,
Brenden here, Manager for the Splunk>Cloud Network Operations Center in AMER.
I'm sorry to hear you ran into some issues with your trial instance. In an attempt to make the automation and experience around the trials better, and provide you with a trial on the latest platforms and technologies we've put into Splunk>Cloud, we missed a trial-configuration piece that caused this. We have now remediated the service and you should be able to use the service as intended. If you still cannot log in, we have confirmed that new instances have the fix in place, so you can sign up with another email address and should be all good to go. If you have trouble doing this, feel free to reply and I'll get you taken care of.
With regard to the lack of Support on Trials, we are exploring options for this, and are aware of your discussion with the account team. I will follow up with them to make that experience better as well.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
