Using the subscriptions API in the SDK results in success.

Symptoms of the problem
Subscription fails to create for some users. This has repeatedly happened for the same user in the same organization (see error message). I have confirmed with our customer that there is nothing unique about that users' Microsoft Outlook account, and other users in their organization are able to use the Outlook subscription feature of our app just fine.
When did the problem begin?

Please provide additional details
We have many users using our Outlook subscription feature. The API has been quite buggy. The error here is the most severe and isn't not possible to overcome as far as we're aware. Additionally, the subscription endpoint sometimes hangs indefinitely and results in a 'request cancelled' error. This requires us to manually retry the creation of the subscription.
