Unable to export QuickBooks Online data to QuickBooks Desktop

I am trying to export my QuickBooks Online data and import this data to Quickbooks Desktop Pro and have tried for 3 days each time waiting for over 12 hours but keep on seeing the following error message upon logging back in:

 

"Sorry, but something went wrong on [time and date] when you requested that a company file be created for downloading.  Please click Start Over to try again."

 

I have follow all the steps provided by Intuit help articles and try export the data on the 'app.qbo.intuit.com/app/exportqbodatatoqbdt' page once I'm logged in QBO.  Here are the options I selected:

  • All financial data

 

It says that exporting can take up to 12 hours, but is usually less.  So I wait until the next day to log in and try to download the exported data file but I get the error message that doesn't specify exactly what the problem is and tells me to start over again.

 

I contacted Intuit chat for support and they told me to call XXX-XXX-XXXX for the department that specializes in data export.  I call in for phone support and their automated message says the waiting time is usually 5-10 mins.  I waited for 16 mins on the phone with the music playing and eventually it goes silent.  I waited for another 2-3 minutes with no one picking up the line so I hung up after.

 

I need help with this issue.  Text support is unable to help and phone support doesn't even answer the calls.  Has anyone else been able to resolve this problem?
