The role executing the CREATE WAREHOUSE statement does not have the CREATE WAREHOUSE account privilege. The warehouse size or configuration specified is not available in the current Snowflake edition. The warehouse name conflicts with an existing warehouse name (case-insensitive match)

Verify the executing role has the CREATE WAREHOUSE privilege: `SHOW GRANTS TO ROLE `.. Check the current warehouse count: `SHOW WAREHOUSES` — if at the account limit, drop unused warehouses or contact Snowflake support to increase the limit.. Ensure the warehouse name is unique (case-insensitive) across all existing warehouses.. Confirm the requested warehouse size is available for your Snowflake edition (e.g., 6XL is only available on Enterprise+).. Review Snowflake account limits under Admin → Limits in Snowsight.
