Description of the problem
We create sandbox previews for user generated code by hitting a POST at https://codesandbox.io/api/v1/sandboxes/define?json=1 endpoint and receive sandbox id as response when request is successful. But now we're frequently getting error response as
{
"error": "Could not connect to sandbox creation service. Please try again in a bit See https://codesandbox.io/docs/importing#create-wizard for more details."
}
Link to sandbox: link (optional)
https://codesandbox.io/embed/undefined?fontsize=14&hidenavigation=1&theme=dark

Contributor guide
First steps

- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by reproducing the POST request to https://codesandbox.io/api/v1/sandboxes/define?json=1 and compare successful and failing responses. Review the linked create-wizard documentation and trace the sandbox creation service involved in returning the connection error. Done means valid user-generated code consistently receives a sandbox id and produces a working preview instead of an undefined embed URL.
