FAILED_PRECONDITION when trying to create a new Google API project

I am getting an error when attempting to create a new project for Google API at https://code.google.com/apis/console

I was hoping the error was temporary, but I have been unable to create a new project for a couple weeks now.

The error seems to have changed, as it used to include server ip information and a lot of other data. An example with some potentially private information removed:

APPLICATION_ERROR;google.cloudresourcemanager.projects.v1beta1/DeveloperProjects.CreateProject;com.google.apps.framework.request.StatusException: generic::FAILED_PRECONDITION: ;AppErrorCode=9;StartTimeMs=1489595147198;tcp;Deadline(sec)=50.0;ResFormat=UNCOMPRESSED;ServerTimeSec=0.027545452117919922;LogBytes=256;FailFast;EffSecLevel=none;ReqFormat=UNCOMPRESSED;ReqID=removed;GlobalID=removed;Server=ip:port

Now the error is a lot shorter, although still seems to be related to the same cause:

com.google.apps.framework.request.StatusException: generic::FAILED_PRECONDITION:

The spinner in the dashboard appears to spin forever, while the error appears underneath alerts after a few seconds. I have tried numerous project names and all fail with the same error.

Is there some type of quota I am missing that is preventing this? The quota menu item requires me to select a project, which I don't have any.

Clicking on the error brings me to a page with the following message:

You don't have permissions to perform the action on the selected resource.

Make sure that the Google Developers Console is on for the user that is trying to create the project.

Admin.google.com > Apps > Additional Google services > Google Developers Console and turn on for any org or user that needs it.
