Hi @Craig
Please refer to Harry Stevens's reply in thread: Daily Microsoft account creation limit.
"The limit creation of Microsoft Accounts is designed to deter hackers from creating multiple email addresses and use it for 'spam', or to 'reserve' names that aren't going to be used at all. Currently, there is a creation limit of 3 Microsoft Accounts, per Day, per IP Address."
