Source note · Troubleshooting Teams phone number assignment errors
A community thread reports a newly provisioned, licensed user for whom assignment failed in the Teams admin center with 'We can't save changes for the number right now. Try again later' and in PowerShell with a 'Bad Request' user-not-found error; the poster says Microsoft support completed the assignment after two to three days without disclosing a root cause.
