I am facing the exact same issue, earlier I was able to create template for OTP purpose using the standard authentication template provided by meta and that was working fine, but all of a sudden it got rejected and since then when I try to create a new authentication template I get the exact same error - "This WhatsApp Business account does not have permission to create message template". Although I am able to create utility templates. Not sure what changed all of a sudden and I am also stuck :(

If anybody gets the issue resolved. Please put the solution over here also.

WhatsApp Business account does not have permission to create message templates Hello,
I am trying to create WhatsApp message templates in WhatsApp Manager for OTP/authentication use.
Official error shown: “This WhatsApp Business account does not have permission to create message template.”
My setup: - WABA name: Lukuauthentification - WABA ID: 961112260195219 - Phone number: +223 93 06 98 08 - Phone Number ID: 999102536629106
My Meta app already has: - whatsapp_business_management - whatsapp_business_messaging
In WhatsApp Manager, the phone number exists and is attached to the WABA, but the status appears as pending. I also cannot create authentication templates for OTP.
Could someone please confirm: 1. whether the pending phone/account status is blocking template creation, 2. whether this WABA has a permission restriction, 3. and what exact step is required to enable template creation?
Screenshots attached: template creation error, WABA details, phone number details, pending status.
Thank you.

We are experiencing the same issue. Our WABA is suddenly no longer allowed create authentication templates.

the issue is resolved ?
