Systematic fail on the creation of a development certificate on an enterprise account

Issue Description

I want to integrate a development certificate associated to an enterprise account in my match repository to build debug targets. However, match systematically fails with the same error:

[!] Could not create another Development certificate, reached the maximum number of available Development certificates.

even though there is no development certificate for the match user in my account.

Command executed

Below is the failing code from my certificate generation lane. Global variables are set before the lane is called and keychain is managed manually.
NB: I added the MATCH_FORCE_ENTERPRISE env variable following this issue but it did not help (same result with or without).

Failing fastlane code

ENV["MATCH_FORCE_ENTERPRISE"] = "1"
match(
  type: "development", 
  username: $match_username,
  team_id: $match_enterprise_team_id,
  git_branch: $match_enterprise_git_branch,
  keychain_name: $match_keychain_name,
  keychain_password: $match_keychain_password,
  platform: "ios",
  readonly: false
)
ENV.delete("MATCH_FORCE_ENTERPRISE")

Complete output when running fastlane, including the stack trace and command used

NB: I replaced confidential information with XXX

[13:16:51]: Using existing authorization token for App Store Connect API

[!] Could not create another Development certificate, reached the maximum number of available Development certificates.

What I tried / Other info

• Using env variable MATCH_FORCE_ENTERPRISE env variable following this issue => same error with or without the variable set
• In the same lane, I call match for a development certificate on a standard (not enterprise) account with a API key, no issue for the certificate generation, which is now in my match repo.

And one day later without any modification on the code or the account... it juste worked.
No idea what happened here 🤷

I'm also seeing this. Maybe it will also go away?
