Unable to activate FileVault. Anyone run into this issue?

Trying to encrypt SSD but not working on 2017 iMac and 2015 MBP (Sequoia latest update). I get to the point where it asks me to use icloud account or generate a Text-password and I'm trying to use iCloud. However I always end up getting "error occurred try again later." I don't have any non OCLP Macs to test this on so I'm not sure if this is an iCloud issue, OCLP issue or something else. Anyone run into this issue? I could do a Text based key...but I worry I'll lose it.
