Can't run Q# program job?

Question

I have been trying to run a Q# program on IonQ. When I use VS Code or the VS Code web app, I get the error Failed to submit the job to Azure. Request failed: Failed to fetch.

I tried using a notebook and the job did submit, but it fails with a timeout as you can see in the message below.

Job details Quantum Workspace Name DST002 Id [Redacted] Provider ionq Target ionq.qpu.aria-1 Cost estimate -- State Failed Execution time Submission time 4/18/2024, 6:55:12 PM Completion time Input parameters {"entryPoint":"ENTRYPOINT__main","arguments":[],"targetCapability":"BasicExecution","shots":1} Input/Output Cost Estimation Error code: ProviderTimeout Error message: There was a problem submitting the job to 'ionq'. Please check the provider's status and try submitting the job again later.
