Why am I not able to add a new project for enablin

Question

For some reason, I can't seem to just add a new project. I've been at this for days now and getting nowhere with it. I need to enable the Drive API for a client in order to create the keys needed to connect to their drive for the purpose of storing backups from a web application. I've done this a few times before but have never had the sort of issues I'm having now.

In the Google Developers Console, Libraries tab, I select Drive API > Enable > Create. From there I enter a project name and click Create. This is where everything stops working. A modal will pop up with a spinner that just spins forever.

Almost immediately afterwards, I receive a notification in the Google Developers Console that there was unknown error.

I've cleared caches & cookies, flushed socket pools, restarted Chrome, updated Chrome, tried different browsers, etc., but to no avail.

The only error I get in DevTools is a 403 (forbidden) when I click the "Enable" button after selecting the Drive API from the Developers Console.

I've searched message boards and status pages for clues that others may be experiencing the same problem but without any luck. At first I thought that this might be some internal issue with Google Drive or G Suites, but it has been several days and I think issues like this would have had more attention by now if it were widespread. Not sure what else I can do.
