I am also having this problem. Have been trying to change my plan for days now - and I always get stuck on this  this will only take a few minutes page for an eternity.  I assume this will just hang here until the end of time.  And I really don't then want to spend more time having to call or chat with someone.  Does anyone know are the only outcomes here here to invest more time or cancel service?

Honestly this is crazy. Been on the same page for over 45 minutes now and came to this forum wondering if other people had the same issue. I was looking to upgrade my plan but am so irritated now, I probably won't.

I got the same problem a month ago trying to downgrade my plan and found out it's an on going issue.  I am paying double every month right now just because I can't downgrade.  This is getting annoying.

Stuck on "This should only take a moment" at the https://approval.cws.xfinity.com/ page.

Any time I need to make a change with Comcast, there's always a problem.  It feels like dealing with an insurance company every time.  To top it off, my current plan apparently no longer exists and my internet has been unreliable the past few months as it is.  It was never the speed advertised so I'm glad there's a higher speed option available cheaper than my current plan.

Also, I work third shift and have been getting Comcast calls at random times each day (ie while I'm sleeping).  Fix the website and I don't need to talk to an agent.  I hate phones in general, hate doing anything during the 9-5 hours even more.

I was able to get around this issue by using Edge instead of Chrome, and deleted history + cookies. Not sure which one helped though.

Sadly, that solution didn't work for me.  The annoying redirects before that step were blocked, without announcing it every time, so that was a nice improvement.  I don't understand why Comcast's main page seems to have a redirect loop back to itself.  The only reason I know of for that to be intentional is ad revenue scamming by locking users on the page, even when they hit the back button.  I can't think of any non-scummy reason to do it - unless it's just bad code that hasn't been fixed.

Having the same issue too. Rather be able to simply change my plan online rather than have to go through the headache of chat and calls because of this error...

I too am trying to give xfinity more money, and am stuck on this screen. I have tried multiple computers, browsers, and networks. Nothing works. Incredible what a poor experience this is from a telecom company.

I al *also* having this problem.  Tried multiple times.  Stuck on this screen.  Pretty ridiculous - and the irony here is that I was trying to change my plan to convince my wife NOT to cut the cable cord and quit Xfinity altogether.

Into 2022 and this (stuck on approval URL saying "This should only take a moment") is still a problem. 
Am unable to change my internet plan despite trying different browsers, clearing caches and cookies etc. 

Please resolve this defect!

Update: Since this post was not responded to, I had to call in, wait for a call back, stay on hold nearly 90 minutes and spend another 10 having the change made. 
Clearly a loss of time for both Xfinity and myself... For everyone's sake, please fix this defect!
