Sorry to hear you were having trouble! It does appear your first project got snagged on a bug we're working on fixing (we did some work on your project specifically behind the scenes to fix this up), but rest assured that you were just one of the "lucky" ones (it's happening only to handful of created projects).
Glad to hear it is working now, and please don't be shy in reporting issues -- we're always working to make the service better and to ensure that everyone has a fantastic experience using rstudio.cloud!
