Unable to find newly made environment following guide

I've been following the tutorial for setting up an AWS environment at https://aws.amazon.com/getting-started/guides/setup-environment/

I had no trouble creating a user, setting up the CLI, using keys, or running aws ec2 describe-vpcs.

aws configure is set to uw-west-2

I try to create an environment with "aws cloud9 create-environment-ec2 --name getting-started-2 --description "Getting started with AWS Cloud9." --instance-type t2.micro" (If I try to run it a second time I get an error saying the name is already in use, so I assume up until this point everything is at least doing something).

When I go to console.aws.amazon.com/cloud9 it says and set it to us-west-2 I have no environments.

I've repeated these steps for every US region so I don't think it can be a region issue? Even if I'm sending them somewhere wrong, I'm checking all of them. I set the IAM Identity center region to us-west-2, no idea if that does anything. I have the same account ID present in the top right drop down menu. I only have one user, and I'm using its keys.

I'm stumped.

Is there maybe something I'm missing about switching to being that user in the Cloud9 web browser interface?

I seem to be able to make an environment using the GUI on the website no problem. Is there any issue with simply doing that? If I can't make the CLI and website talk to each other, will I have trouble running apps from the CLI or something, later?
