Is there a limit on Apple ID?
Any single device can ONLY create three iCloud accounts in its lifetime. And there is no way to change this or wipe the slate clean. Instead of creating an iCloud account on your current device, set one up on a Mac or a friend’s/family member’s iOS device–you cannot do this via a Windows PC or Android device.
