HackTheBox: PwnBox not Starting

Problem

You get this error when you try to start Pwnbox: There are no instances available. Please try again later.

Solution

You can fix this by changing the Pwnbox Location.

For example, I ran into this issue while connected to US - Starting Point VIP.

Changing the Pwnbox Location from United States West --> United States East fixed the issue.
