Hello! Please attach the skin you attempt to upload as well as the launcher_log.txt found in Minecraft Data Folder after you try changing skin. It will help us identify what is going on 🙂
I should probably mention that it also shows the same error when you exceed rate limiting by trying to change the skins too quickly, I think the launcher should show a clearer message when the user tries to switch between skins too quickly, and display a rate limit exceeded error instead of the generic unable to activate skin error.

I'm reffering to that part by the way.

Does this issue occurs for specific skins or for all of them? Could you try 5 or more different skins from the ones that issue occurs on?
This ticket will automatically reopen when you reply.
Im able to add the skin to my launcher, but can not actually use it. I am still able to use my older skins, but all the new ones do not work. (edit) The skins I tried were off of https://www.minecraftskins.com. When downloading a skin off there it originally trys download as a WEBP file, but I changed it to a PNG. In the end it still didn't work. On the other hand I tried a different site ( minecraft.novaskin.me ) and it instantly started as a PNG, which worked. So maybe its the first site specifically that isn't working right now? Then again I don't know why you would still be able to upload it, yet not use.
skin works for me unless i click it 20 times. then it does this.
