Azure powershell session instantly times out


I am trying to create an Azure Managed Cache using the Azure Powershell now that the ability to create this in the management GUI has been removed.

Using Add-AzureAccount I am able to log in to Azure with my usual credentials. As soon as I issue the command to create the cache:

New-AzureManagedCache -Name mycachename -Location "North Europe" -Sku Basic -Memory 128MB

... I immediately get the error:

    New-AzureManagedCache : Your Windows Azure credential in the Windows PowerShell session has expired. Please use Add-AzureAccount to login again.
    At line:1 char:1
+ New-AzureManagedCache -Name mycachename -Location "North Europe" -Sku Basic -Memory 128MB
    + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        + CategoryInfo          : CloseError: (:) [New-AzureManagedCache], AadAuthenticationCantRenewException
        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Azure.Commands.ManagedCache.NewAzureManagedCache

If I log in again I get the same error and am going round in circles.

This is using a Free Trial which is absent of Azure tech support so any suggestions gratefully received. Azure Service status is showing all OK.
