Family Sharing - can not create child account "verification failed"

There was a problem connecting to the server.

I've been trying to set up family share account (for a child) from desktop (MacOS Big Sir) and from iphone .

fails every time. Over multiple days. (28 Nov, 2020) - and last week sometime...

Any indication that this feature works at all? ever?
