Hi Ganczarczyk, Marek,
It looks like you're encountering an issue when trying to change the access tier of a blob to "Archive" in Azure Blob Storage using PowerShell. The error message indicates that the request is failing due to an invalid header value for the x-ms-access-tier header.
$blob.BlobClient.SetAccessTier("Archive", $null)
try to use of Azure CLI or the Azure portal as alternative option for users with additional options to achieve their goal. This can be particularly helpful if the issue is specific to PowerShell.

under web interface it is grayed out. I don't know why I can change from cool-hot-cold but not to archive
The question is: Is archive storage available in region Poland Central? How to check it?
