Can not get my BitLocker recovery key

When going to https://account.microsoft.com/devices/recoverykey to get the BitLocker recovery keys of my device, I get an error saying:

"Sorry, something went wrong.

We're not sure what happened but refreshing the page may help, or try again in a little while.

TraceId: lBgh0JGs40W+tj6N.30.98"

Same thing when I would go to https://account.microsoft.com/devices and then click on "info & support" on my device that I need to recover after blue screening and then "Manage recovery keys", which basically takes me to the link mentioned at the top of this post.

This is very frustrating as I can't start working with my brand new laptop that just crashed on me from day 1.

Any reply from people trying if that link works for them is appreciated.

    Melissa Monsoor,

    Have you checked your OneDrive storage and made sure that it isn't full.

    If you want to contact Microsoft then use the Get Help app and enter Chat with an agent this should make the option Contact Support available at the bottom of the window.

    Still can not get into my computer because of the bit lock recovery. Its been two moths without my computer. Why is there no direct phone # to contact Microsoft?!

    Microsoft!!! The issue persists for more than 3 months. Your updates caused this problem for me and now I cannot use my computer because of it.

    Please fix it ASAP. The workarounds provided by other users don't work. Please fix it

    I can confirm that the Bitlocker recovery key issue is related to One Drive being full. After paying to expand my One Drive storage and waiting 24 hours, I was able to access my Bitlocker recovery key. I read others reporting that you can just delete a bunch of files from One Drive to create space instead of paying to expand your storage. Hopefully Microsoft fixes this bug.

    I can now confirm this worked for me! As soon as my OneDrive account was unfrozen (which took about 16 hours), the Bitlocker page started working again too. I have no idea why one would affect the other at all, but at least it seems like there's a solution!
