Hi there,

I think that team names must be lowercase, alphanumeric, and without special characters. Try something like squirrel287 or squirrelteam.

If it still doesn’t work, best to reach out to DigitalOcean support for help.

Heya, @7ec80c6d5ec64b278e833c08e28d5b

You can try to use something like Squirrel 287 or, as Bobby mentioned, ‘squirrel287’

Our support team can help you if it does not work.
